Vijayan, Arundhati Roy, and Mahashweta Devi -- 3. The Hullabaloo about Hybridity: Kiran Desai’s The Inheritance of Loss, Girish Karnad’s Yayati and Heaps of Broken Images, and Lalithambika Antherjanam’s Cast Me Out If You Will -- 4.

Beyond the Indian Postcolonial -- Conclusion -- Appendix 1: Wang-Chu by Bhisham Sahni, Translated by Nirmala Menon -- Appendix 2: Wang-Chu by Bhisham Sahni in Original Hindi -- Bibliography -- Index.-.

This book critically examines the postcolonial canon, questioning both the disproportionate attention to texts written in English and their overuse in attempts to understand the postcolonial condition. The author addresses the non-representation of Indian literature in theory, and the inadequacy of generalizing postcolonial experiences and subjectivities based on literature produced in one language (English). It argues that, while postcolonial scholarship has successfully challenged Eurocentrism, it is now time to extend the dimensions beyond Anglophone and Francophone literatures to include literatures in other languages such as Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Tagalog, and Swahili. .
