Cultural hybridity and identity crisis in postcolonial Indian English Literature
Authors
G Bhaskara Rao, T Ashok
Abstract
Postcolonial Indian English literature has
served as a powerful medium for exploring cultural hybridity and identity
crises, two significant by-products of colonial legacies. This research paper
examines works from 2010 to 2024, offering insights into how authors navigate
themes of multiculturalism, displacement, and the negotiation of identity.
Using theories of hybridity proposed by Homi K. Bhabha and the concept of
"mimicry," this paper synthesizes literary analyses of prominent
Indian authors. The interplay between traditional and modern influences reveals
identity struggles shaped by colonial histories and globalized realities. The
research identifies emerging trends in literary techniques and thematic
representations, highlighting unresolved questions and suggesting directions
for future research. Visual aids such as thematic tables and conceptual
diagrams provide additional clarity to this comprehensive synthesis of
postcolonial discourse in Indian English literature.
