초록
English has slowly and surely become an integral part of the South Asian society and culture. As a result of its wide use in different walks of human life, English came in contact with a variety of languages and cultures in the Asian continent Consequently, it developed unique features and characteristics that contributed in the evolution of a distinct South Asian variety of English. The English used in these countries has been undergoing a process of ‘nativisation’, which is identifiable in both the written and spoken modes. The cultural noetics of English in the Indian context can be seen as a part of this process. The first part of the paper briefly mentions the link between language and culture and how culture leaves an indelible mark on a language. The second part of the paper is an attempt to trace the reflections of Indian culture in English, with illustrative examples drawn from Indian novels in English.

The English used in these countries has been undergoing a process of ‘nativisation’, which is identifiable in both the written and spoken modes. The cultural noetics of English in the Indian context can be seen as a part of this process. The first part of the paper briefly mentions the link between language and culture and how culture leaves an indelible mark on a language.
