Question

How does R.K Narayan illustrate the transformation of the English language in America .why does he recommend a bharat brand English

Answer 1

Americans did not abandon the language of the British though they abandoned its over formalism.Americans use ‘Newly planted, don’t walk’ instead of “Trespassing Prohibited.

Answer 2

Answer:

According to the author, Indian English should have its own distinct identity, or "Swadeshi Stamp." The author wishes for Indians to develop their own English that is more unique and creative than present English.

Explanation:

• The author points out that, like Indians, Americans drove the British out of their country while allowing the English to remain.
• The Americans simplified the use of English by removing Passive Voice. Instead of "Trespassing Prohibited," they posted "Newly planted, don't walk" on the notice board.
• This process of changing the English language is referred to as "toasting" by R.K. Narayan.
• Americans have established a collection of fundamental core words that may be used wherever, at any time—words that have global multipurpose use. "OK," "Yeah," and other comparable statements are more commonly used.
• R.K. Narayan then investigates English's "bazaar position." English is used with refinement in London.
• The conductor on a London bus will never say "Ticket, Ticket," instead of approaching the passenger and saying "Thank you" after collecting the fare and issuing the ticket.

Hence, finally, he concludes by adapting English to our needs, resulting in the creation of a "Bharat brand of English." He states unequivocally that he opposes "mongrelization" or the hybridization of English.
