Paper Title
Colonial Burden on the English Literature Syllabus in Indian Universities: A Critical Analysis
Authors
Lisha Nilesh
Keywords
Colonial burden; English syllabus; Indian universities; curriculum design; decolonisation; literature teaching
Abstract
This paper looks at how the English literature syllabus in Indian universities is still heavily influenced by the country's colonial past. Even today, most courses give more importance to British writers and Western ideas, while Indian and regional voices are often pushed to the side or offered only as optional papers. By studying different university syllabi, this paper shows how the structure of the courses, the choice of texts, and the way students are assessed still follow patterns set during colonial times. Although recent discussions talk about "decolonising" education, real change has been slow because the basic framework of the syllabus has not been updated. This study explains why this colonial burden continues and suggests practical steps universities can take to make the English syllabus more inclusive, balanced, and relevant for Indian students today.
