Postcolonial Perspective in Salman Rushdie's Shalimar the Clown

This Paper focuses on the postcolonial perspective in Salman Rushdie’s Shalimar
the Clown and especially focuses on the main character of the novel, Shalimar.
The rapid explanation is used to emphasize the different postcolonial propensity in
the  ctional village Pachigam, in Shalimar the Clown. This village Pachigam is a
place of hybridists,  uidity, and also a space marked by distinction. It is distinctive
but not a smooth postcolonial space, one which Brennan ignores in his de nition
of post colonialism. The paper describes essentially about the vague relationship
of the village Pachigam, a microcosm of Kashmir with the larger ‘postcolonial’,
‘post-imperial’ entities of India and Pakistan. The paper also analyses the women’s
sufferings, psychology and injustice in postcolonial India.
