Oriya language is not only one of the major languages of India, but its literature is one of the richest and most ancient, that has registered a continuous growth and development for the last about 600 years, and particularly for the last about 130 years, it has grown at par with other Indian literatures as a direct product of Western education, on the whole a complete and multifaceted growth. So also its post Independence literature shares its many dimensions and visions with other post Independence Indian literatures and contributes to its total mosaic substantially. The essays of Tradition and Creativity have two major purposes. First, they focus on the rich complexity of a literature that has grown up through multiple channels during the last 600 years, and secondly, and probably more importantly, they project its ambiences and directions in the modern and post-Independence periods.
