The novel „English August An Indian Story‟ is a beautiful raillery on Subjectification of Colonial Legacy by a postcolonial author Upamanyu Chatterjee. The protagonist Augustya Sen suffers from aimlessness in his youthful lucrative civil service job and ever refuses to pin down to any particular opinion or grand idea. He is representative of postcolonial youth of India who is shattered between aimlessness and irresoluteness. The postcolonial hallucinations though not present physically in the formerly colonized nation, traces Her through the protagonist throughout his stoned days in remote Madna, as if the colonial power, (as cited befittingly by Canadian critic Stephen Slemon), inscribed on the space of Others (protagonist as representative) and continues as an often occulted tradition. The paper will put forward its argument on the basis of some eminent post colonial critic like Frantz Fanon Homi K. Bhaba, Louis Althusser, Stephen Slemon, and Edward Said etc. The paper will discuss the postcolonial ambience in the Indian psyche, legacy of European culture and succeeding dwindling position in the writing of Upamanyu Chatterjee.
