They are Adikal (the early period), Bhakti Kal (The Devotional Period), Ritikal (The scholastic period) and Adhunikkal (the Modern Period).

Evolution

The first one, Adikal, starts from the 10th century to the early 14th century. The second one Bhakti Kal thrived from the 14th to the 17th century. During this period, many Muslim rulers invaded India, occupied India’s territories, and stressed the people to convert to Islam. They also instruct the Hindus to follow Islamic customs and rituals. Then the Hindus were entirely discouraged by the effect on their culture. The third one is Riti Kal; during this period, the poets of Ritikal were classified into two groups, they are Ritibaddha, who was wedded to rhetorics and Ritimukta, who were free from rhetorical conventions—final and fourth one is Modern Hindi Literature; modern Hindi literature is divided into four phases. The first phase is Bharatendu or the Renaissance (1899-1893 ), Dwivedi Yug ( 1893-1918 ), Chhayavade Yug ( 1918-37) and the contemporary period (1937 onwards).
