ASPECTS OF LITERARY GLOBALISATION IN INDIAN WRITING IN ENGLISH

Globalisation is a continuous process of enhancing cultural conventions, trade, science, technology and sharing of goods, skills and services. It starts from local and leads to global (making the regional international). Globalisation began in India in 1991 with the introduction of New Economic Policy. The Open Trade Policy opened Indian market to all other countries which allowed every country to grab Indian market. The technology wave immensely contributed in speeding up all sorts of communications with the help of the internet. The increase in abroad tours for education, seeking good job opportunities, business and enjoyment contributed in modernizing the lifestyle. The present paper deals with elaborative discussion of the term ‘globalisation’, the role of English language in the process of globalisation. It throws light on globalisation in literature, precisely Indian English literature. This research paper also attempts to highlight the dark impact of globalisation on literature.
