Abstract

The idea of colonial discourse was founded on the oppositive scenario of we against other where the other was put as the fixed and generalized picture of the other being the colonized. The methodology of postcolonialism was a manifestation of a fresh appearance that set out to demonstrate how culture was politically significant in the construction and representation of the aforementioned imperialist ideology and acted against the sustainability of the same. Through this, culture literature has not only been considered as aesthetic art, but also one of the most effective means of expressing socio-political ideology. Nevertheless, multiculturalism proposes more liberal strategy, without mutual reproach, and is supported by the awareness of cultural diversity. Only in this way, violence because of the indignation of the differences in culture can be stopped due to the political ambitions.  Pakistani English Literature presents an example of a multicultural environment that not only hints at the potential of coexisting and living together despite our diversity but also acquiring hybrid identity, which provides us with a distinct opportunity to live beyond boundaries and shaping our personality that can reflect multiplicity in our cultural background.
