Abstract<\/span><\/p>

This study is centralized on the significance of post-colonial criticism implanted in Edward Morgan Forster\u2019s A Passage to India and Mulk Raj Anand\u2019s Untouchable employing varying quintessential post-colonial theories coined by important post-colonial theorists. The following research involves scrutinizing the post-colonial space and the major critics in it corresponding with the horrifying ramifications of imperialism that alters the socio-political, cultural, and economical dogmas of a nation including the linguistic approach which plays an important role in the development of the literary canon. This research explores the subject of colonial implications presented by two different writers originating from far away poles which conclusively examines how two distinct categories of colonial exploitation work one being triggered by foreign agents and another being planted inside the premises of a nation making a distinction between the mechanism of oppression. The two primary texts\u2019 projects justify the outlook on the aftermath colonialism and also portray important theories of Hybridity, Oppression, and Othering.<\/span><\/p>

Impact Statement<\/span><\/p>

In the profound exploration of trauma within colonial narratives, our research unravels the haunting reverberations of imperialistic legacies in E.M. Forster’s “A Passage to India” and Mulk Raj Anand’s “Untouchable.” By delving into the nuanced interplay of power, identity, and resistance, our study not only illuminates the psychological scars inflicted by colonialism but also lays bare the resilient spirit that emerges from the shadows of oppression. In understanding the traumatic echoes embedded in these literary masterpieces, we pave a transformative path toward a more empathetic comprehension of the enduring impact of colonial histories on individual and collective psyches.<\/span><\/p>
