INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ADVANCE RESEARCH
IN MULTIDISCIPLINARY

The current research paper discusses the decolonizing of the British literary canon in the context of postcolonial approach, with specific interest in Indian English literature and its transformative nature to the international literature discussion. It examines the ways in which industrialized colonies writers confront colonial pasts, hybrid cultures, and identity as well as historical accounts to disrupt the Eurocentric literary authority. The paper illustrates how literature can be seen as a place of resistance, reclaiming as well as a place of cultural negotiation by analyzing the works of some of the greatest writers like Salman Rushdie, Arundhati Roy and Kamala Das. Themes like the hybridization of language, the subversion of colonial power structure, the reclamation of marginalized voices, and so forth, are contributing themes to a less exclusionary, plural, and more internationally relevant vision of literature. The present analysis emphasizes the significance of postcolonial literature in the development of canon and an increase in the field of literary analysis by commenting on the intersections of identity, memory, and resistance.
