Abstract
The present paper seeks to examine colonial intrusion and its
impact on the native Indians and the indigenous response in the works of
Rudyard Kipling and R.K. Narayan. Colonial writer Rudyard Kipling‟s
many works are based in Indian society but his works present Indians as
primitive and in marginal spaces. He tries to justify colonialism by
advocating colonial rule and he also aims to perpetuate his Eurocentric
superiority. The European traders came to India, established their
mercantile power and started ruling over India in all ways. Gradually,
they demolished Indian knowledge system, replaced local languages
with English, started exploitation of natural resources and abolished local
enterprises for strengthening colonial rule. Britain became powerful and
rich by snatching the power and freedom of colonies like India. On this
trajectory, European represented natives as savage and inferior, so they
could set up a discourse of their colonial mastery. In this respect,
R.K.Narayan presents a clear picture of Indian society and narrates the
actual circumstances in which local people were surviving without any
exaggeration. It helps to present positive image of natives in literary
world
