Abstract

India, together with the present and colonial histories of postcolonial culture, is considered as a rich place with intertextuality and impact. Furthermore, as compared to other colonial powers, British imperialism is significantly more pragmatic. The purpose is not religious, but rather economic. With the rise of "Orientalism," India was the first nation to have a literary effect on the West; nevertheless, this equation was inverted under colonial interference. The British seemed to have made the most significant changes in Indian society. Whereas few Indian critics are only concerned with criticizing and lauding the impact of the West, Indian authors' discriminating reaction provides intricate examples of intertextuality and influence as reception develops. The literary movement has been moulded by the ideals and fundamental beliefs of local people's traditional attitude, culture, social life, and politics. For more than two centuries, British authority and Indian subcontinent dominating power were suspended. Furthermore, it becomes straightforward when you need to comprehend the history of English literature as it relates to the lives of the English people. This mindset pervades the educational, social, and cultural spheres. The movement of the British colony in the provided subcontinent demonstrates the importance of literature on people's social lives. The present research paper describes the study on the Effect of Colonial Rule on English Literature in India.
