Indian Ethos in Indian English Fictions reflects the spirit of Indian soul which interweaves the pluralism of India. Basically the understanding of pan-Indian identity is referred to in the book through the Indian ethos in Indian English fictions. The significance of English as a language and the colonizers’ tool for expression of Indian touch is interpreted through the study. The research affirms that Indian English fictions not only faithfully express Indian ethos but also try to decolonize the mind of the uprooted Indians. It puts forth the rich and diverse tradition of India in confirming the characteristic transformation of Indian-English. Eight novels relevant to vivid eras also depict a model to prove against the sovereign potential and to re-mark the Indian ethos in the neo-liberal period where distinct cultures gel together. The book facilitates to embrace Indian legacy and to nurture Indo-centric thoughts in individuals.
