Abstract :
The contemporary literary scenario is in such a way that the works of art and literature from various parts of the world, especially from the third world countries, is gaining momentum. After the process of decolonization started in literature, Eurocentric notions of the so called 'universalized' and 'canonized' texts are put into question. The postcolonial writers are preoccupied with portraying the traumatizing experiences of the colonized and delineating the existing state of affairs in the countries once exposed to colonization. Looked from a different perspective, one can easily recognize that the decolonized world is a myth and colonizing process still continues in terms of economic and political control, religious and ideological practices etc… The colonies once physically occupied by colonizers have become the western markets that are forced to consume the western products by the pressure of some legal or cultural impositions. The invisible as well as the invincible power structures between the colonizer and the colonized have bound the colonized society in such a way that even mere the thought of decolonization itself has become unimaginable. The writer tries to put forth the idea that the colonial endeavours by the colonizers are not the things of past with harrowing experience, but they are still being proceeded and seeking new pastures, thereby causing immense evil consequences.
