- W2551779129 abstract "Publishing became a colonial enterprise across the British Empire in for example, India or the African continent and publishing in the English language became a means of controlling and subjugating the native inhabitants to British rule. India is a special case however as it had been under British influence since the East India Company was established in 1612 (1), making the publishing efforts of the 1950s seem rather recent. Indeed currently only ten percent of the population speaks English but that equates to 125 million people making it the second largest English speaking population in the world (BBC). It could be argued therefore that the English language (and possibly all that comes with it) has become somewhat integrated into Indian life. Indeed Rushdie acknowledges the historical legacy of a hybridised culture in Midnight’s Children: ‘Who what am I? My answer: I am the sum total of everything that went before me, of all I have been seen done, of everything done-tome’ (Rushdie 1995). This essay will therefore endeavour to unravel the extent to which colonial rule has had an impact on late twentieth century publishing in India. This will require as a result definition of the term postcolonial and whether it is apt to describe contemporary Indian literature we find in British bookshops and on bestseller lists today." @default.
