| dcterms.abstract | It is impossible to understand the postcolonial Subcontinent without religious discourse. It gives us a valid point of entry into postcolonial India and Pakistan. Growing unrest and intolerance in the region compels us to ask, “to what extent the colonial past of these two countries is responsible for their present condition? Digging deep in the past, we would find indelible marks of colonial atrocities. Without the colonization of mind, territorial control is not possible. Religion is one of the tools of the colonizer to mentally dominate the native population. Territorial colonialism is temporal but mental colonialism is permanent; it leaves its residue behind. Post-colonized people blame their former colonizers for the present condition; ironically, instead of being apologetic about the violence they did to their former colonies, they still are nostalgic about the glorious past they once had. Postcolonial states stand between hopefulness and hopelessness. Is there anything beyond it? Can they rely on the people who have felt the call to represent them? These are the questions asked in this thesis. | |
