Answer:

RK Narayan is possibly the only author of prose who deviated from the accepted literary conventions of his age.

He wrote about Indians and was an Indian.

In his writing collection "Toasted English," he made fun of American English in a witty and humorous way, which greatly increased his fame.

Explanation:

Narayan is recognized for his simple speech and moral qualities. The article "Toasted English" explores how regional variations in the English language exist across the United States. The contrast between American and British English has been amusingly demonstrated in the article. The author claims that, like the Indians, Americans expelled the British from their country of origin while yet adhering to English. The Americans were courteous in their usage of the English language and utilized the passive voice as they departed. They also abandoned formality and used uplifting keywords for their comfort. Toasting is the term for this type of English editing. On the awareness board, for instance, it says "Newly Planted, Don't Walk" instead of "Trespassing Prohibited." Due to their potential for many interpretations, the new expressions have grown in popularity.

The words "Ok," "Yeah," and "Yes" are often used phrases. Narayan uses the word "check" as an example, which may also be classified as an American national expression in its entirety. The American uses this expression everywhere, but the British use it in accordance with the definitions. I'll consider how I'll learn more and observe to confirm. A "Check girl" is someone who looks after your coat, umbrella, or other possessions. "Your take a look at" refers to how you check your price tag.R.K. Narayan also analyzes the reputation of English in the marketplace. In London, it is used in a polite manner. On a London bus, the conductor will never say, "Ticket, Ticket," but will instead approach the customer and say, "Thank you," after collecting the ticket and handing them the price tag. We don't want to use "Yes Sir" or "sure sweetheart" while saying "sure." Sure and Ok are self-sufficient expressions that don't need a suffix to indicate any special deference. Without any hassle, a "Yeah" completes the statement and keeps the chat or conversation going. Yea is spoken with a short base of the tongue.According to R.K. Narayan, the moment has come for English to emerge in the open on dusty streets and establish itself as the language of the common man. It should adjust to fit the needs and environment of Indians, just like Americans do. He no longer needs English that has been mixed with other languages. Grammar rules should have stayed consistent. Like "Toasted English," India should expand the Bharat English branding. It should no longer be necessary to make assumptions before speaking. The author believes that Indian English should have its own distinctive character, or "Swadeshi Stamp." It should stand out and be excellent in comparison to standard English.
