POST COLONIALISM AND POST COLONIAL ASSAMESE NOVEL: A CRITICAL STUDY

The term post colonialism is used to refer to all the cultures affected by the imperial process from the moment of colonization to the present day. The term post colonialism can be understood vividly by placing it in two different contexts. The primary concern is the historical process of decolonization. The second context relates to different intellectual movements developed during the twentieth century. Post colonialism is a theory which operates in the historical, socio-cultural, political, economic, inguistic, anthropological and psychological standards. It is concerned with the European colonialization, sometimes the current American, in the twentieth century and its effect on the colonized nation before and after colonialism. The flexibility of novel performs a give-and-take relationship in the postcolonial context as it takes its crude material from the decolonization and resistance contexts, and more importantly it contributes to them.
