Preamble

ThenarrativeofEnglishstudies,especially,inpost -colonialnationssuchasIndiahaswitnessed
significant paradigm shifts. It began as a romance with liberal humanist view
ofEnglishstudiesthatperpetuatedculturalhegemonies.However,withtheadventcriticaltheories such
as post -structuralism and growing presence of the voices other than that of
aheteronormativewhitemaleintroducedvariousstrategiesofrevisitingliteraryworksanddevising
methods of questioning canons. The contemporary scholarship has been pivotal inunderlining
influence of the intersections of the cultural constructs such race, class, caste,gender, sexuality
in production, promotion, distribution and consumption of literary works.English studies in
Indian academia have transitioned from English Literature to Li teratures inEnglish.This also
opened doors forliteratureinEnglishtranslations andnewerforms ofnarratives such as cinema.
These paradigmatic shifts not only suggest but demand that
