Eurocentrism refers to a worldview that centers Europe and European values, history, culture, and norms as superior, universal, and normative. It views the world through a European lens, often marginalizing or devaluing the contributions, histories, and perspectives of non-European societies. In literary and cultural studies, Eurocentrism involves privileging Western literary canons, theories, and aesthetic values while ignoring or undermining non-Western texts, traditions, and modes of expression. It implies a form of intellectual hegemony in which the West is seen as the primary agent of knowledge, culture, and civilization, while others are considered peripheral or derivative. In the context of Indian English Literature and Comparative Literature, Eurocentrism often manifested in the privileging of British literary forms, genres, and critical frameworks over indigenous literary traditions. The colonial educational system promoted European literature as the epitome of artistic and intellectual excellence. This led to the internalization of Western literary norms by colonized elites, while local literatures were sidelined, translated selectively, or evaluated by Western standards. The period after decolonization witnessed a significant reaction against Eurocentrism. With the collapse of European empires in Asia, Africa, and the Caribbean, newly independent nations began to reassess their ____ _______ __________ __________ ________.
