Abstract
The magic of literature can resuscitate brains and rebuild communities. Books can introduce us to new worlds, help us question our convictions and engage in a more profound communication with people & ourselves through the book pages. This research, while using the qualitative method by conducting interviews with literature students and applying thematic analysis, focuses on Post-Colonial literature and its influence on critical thinking and identity formation among Pakistani students. Overall, we found that reading postcolonial literature improves critical thinking skills and a deeper understanding of socio-political issues, as well as influences cultural identity and personal connections. This study identifies the urgent need to incorporate post-colonial reading material into syllabi in order to encourage critical thinking, cultural sensitivity and social responsibility among students. Postcolonial literature can offer transformative power to create a more just and fair world through a transformed self.
