Globalization and identity in Indian literature: Negotiating the local and the global
Authors
Dr. Hemamalini N
Abstract
This paper examines how globalization
influences the construction and expression of identity in Indian literature.
Drawing on theoretical frameworks from cultural and postcolonial studies,
including the works of Stuart Hall, Arjun Appadurai, and Homi Bhabha, the study
explores how Indian authors navigate themes of diaspora, displacement,
hybridity, and cultural negotiation. By analyzing key literary texts by authors
such as Jhumpa Lahiri, Salman Rushdie, Aravind Adiga, and Chetan Bhagat, the
paper demonstrates how globalization creates complex, fragmented, and hybrid
identities that challenge traditional cultural narratives. Indian literature
emerges as a site of both reflection and resistance, capturing the tensions
between the local and the global, tradition and modernity, and rootedness and
reinvention in the contemporary world.
