摘要：The use of English language in the postcolonial era has undergone a significant change and this has been possible, as Derek Walcott implies in the quotation above, because of the writer’s flying imagination. Prominent writers of Indian English Fiction like Raja Rao, G.V. Desani, Kamala Markandaya, Anita Desai, Salman Rushdie, Arundhati Roy and Kiran Desai have used English creatively, showing in their writings how far English can be ‘Indianised’. Indianisation and hybridisation are traits in their works which constitute an integral part of their linguistic experiments.
