POST -COLONIAL READING IN THE VENDOR OF SWEETS
Journal Title: International Journal of Physical and Social Sciences (IJPSS) - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 4
Abstract
R.K.Narayan is the most famous Indian novelist, his reputation as one of the founding figures of Indian writing in English. In this research paper it is observed that-–Unlike many colonial and post-colonial writers Narayan does not directly attack or criticize the colonial system, although elements of gentle criticism and irony directed towards the colonial system are scattered throughout many novels of Narayan. Colonialism to the Malgudians is an external phenomenon. Post-Colonial reading formulates a synthesis between both the Colonian the Postcolonial. The Post-Colonial studies are fore most in any programme of literature in English. Narayan explores the inevitable clash of both the colonial and the post-colonial. Therefore, a postcolonial reading of R. K. Narayan‟s work, especially novel The Vendor of Sweets with regard to his attitude to the English language would likely to reveal that he endeavours to formulate a synthesis between the Indian element and the colonial one. Within the syncretic reality of a post-colonial society it is impossible to return to an idealized pure pre-colonial cultural condition. The work of Indian novelist R.K.Narayan, which has frequently either been regarded as deeply traditional, or as incorporating the ironic perspective of the English literary tradition, illustrates this problem.
