Abstract

The fictionalisation of postcolonial history through the viewpoint of the writers also takes out a changed attitude. Instead of presenting historical truth from a single point of view of the governing awareness of the author, the postcolonial writers tend to provide multiple perspectives. Another aspect of the postcolonial perspective is the interaction between the colonisers and the colonised views. The intervention of politics in universal human experience also finds expression in postcolonial writings. In the process, what gains significance in relation to historical events is not the truth but truths. The postcolonial writer conveys multiple voices which are more significant and very often overlooked in the colonised text. More than the representation of an individual’s life, the postcolonial writers give importance to pluralistic truth.
