As mentioned earlier Bhakti movement was at its peak in Gujarat and that affected the literature composed there. Narsinh Mehta is a very popular name in this area as he combined devotional songs for Lord Krishna with local folk traditions. The later period saw poetry by Narmad and prose by Govardhan Ram who wrote the classic Gujarati novel, Saraswati Chandra, which has been made into a television series recently.
The pinnacle of success in Gujarati literature was achieved by Dr K.M Munshi who has written fiction and non-fiction (historical) work too. One of his finest novels is Prithvi Vallabha.
The medieval Rajasthani literature was ridden with several dialects and has two main forms of fictional writing called Dingal and Pingal. The most famous text in this context is Dhola Maru. The writings of Mirabai in Braj have been very famous. Several other saints composed devotional poetry in this region. The stories of Rajasthani writers were usually oral in nature and were spread by the bards who sang the virkavya (victory poetic songs).
The literature in Sindhi has been deeply influenced by the two regions surrounding it: Rajasthan and Gujarat. As Sindh was always on the border of India, it was amongst the first to come in contact with Islamic settlers in India, which also explains the influence of Islam and Sufism on the poetry. The poetry is very lyrical and meant to be sung. Two prominent names in Sindhi Literature are Dewan Kauramal and Mirza Kalish Beg.
