The paper "Echoes of Empire: Unraveling Colonization's Legacy in Indian English Literature" explores colonialism's ENORMOUS and long-lasting impact on Indian literature written in English. This research investigates how the legacy of British rule continues to impact the themes, aesthetics, and ideological foundations of Indian English literature. This is accomplished by examining literary works ranging from the colonial period to the present. The purpose of this article is to shed light on the intricate relationship that exists between colonial history and literary expression in India. This will be accomplished by evaluating how Indian writers negotiate their cultural identity, traverse linguistic hybridity, and interact with postcolonial discourse.
