Reclaiming Identity: A Postcolonial Analysis of Cultural Resistance in Contemporary South Asian Literature

Riya Tamrakar , Gaurav Pandey
Abstract:

This paper explores the theme of cultural resistance in contemporary South Asian literature through a postcolonial lens. It examines how South Asian writers engage with the legacy of colonialism, interrogate the impact of Western hegemony, and assert indigenous identities through their narratives. The study highlights key literary works that illustrate resistance against cultural erasure, linguistic domination, and socio-political marginalization. By analyzing the works of prominent authors such as Arundhati Roy, Salman Rushdie, Jhumpa Lahiri, and Mohsin Hamid, this paper investigates how literature serves as a medium for reclaiming identity and resisting cultural homogenization.
