Fascinated with world religions and traditional African cultures, his novels focus on the traditions of Igbo society, the effects of Christian influence and the clash between African and Western values during and after the colonial era. His style relies heavily on Igbo oral traditions, folk stories, proverbs and oratory. His works adequately represent an early African nationalist tradition that repudiates the imperialist and colonialist ideology. The aim of this paper is to focus on the complexities of ‘Inculturation’ of African communities within Western cultural framework whose conflictual syncretism created a faultline within social, cultural and religious aspects of African life</p> Manisha Gosai Copyright (c) 2023 Manisha Gosai 2023-06-03 2023-06-03 5 1 19 27 10.58213/ell.v5i1.59 https://ell.iaar.co/journal/article/view/60 <p>Intertextuality and Spirotextuality are used in literature to enrich the reader's understanding and to create a sense of depth and complexity in the work. However, while Intertextuality creates a connection to the broader literary tradition, Spirotextuality creates a more intricate and cyclical relationship between multiple works. The Ramayana and The Mahabharata are one of the most important texts in Hinduism, have been retold and reinterpreted over time. The paper discusses how the Intertextuality in the Mahabharata and the Ramayana serves to connect these epics to a larger literary and cultural tradition and reinforce important moral and ethical values. The study of Intertextuality and Spirotextuality in Sanatan (Hindu) texts is significant because it reveals the complex and layered nature of these texts, and sheds light on the diverse cultural and intellectual influences that have shaped them over time.</p> Dr Mrinalini P.
