Description
This collection of essays examines the dynamic interaction between English and Indian languages, exploring how linguistic pressures shape writers and literary communities across the subcontinent. Divided into two parts, the book investigates the profound influence English has exerted on Indian culture and national identity, whilst addressing how writers navigate and respond to this linguistic complexity. The essays illuminate the emergence of hybrid languages within Tamil cultural contexts resulting from English and Hindi presence, analyse the politics of literary anthologisation, and study how contemporary works like Karnad's Tughlaq engage with multilingual tensions. Through rigorous scholarly analysis, the collection reveals how language choice becomes a political and cultural act for Indian writers working across linguistic boundaries.
