Now let us see what post colonialism is- Post colonialism, postcolonial literature and theory ? is concerned with the situation of former subject nations and cultures whose histories have been irremediably altered by the experience of colonialism.

Post-Colonial writers also works to reclaim the past, because their own histories were often erased or discredited under imperialism, and to understand their own culture and personal identities and chart their own futures, on their own terms rather than the terms superimposed on them by imperialist ideology and practice.
