Postcolonial criticism bears witness to the unequal and uneven forces of cultural representation involved in the contest for political and social authority within the modern world order. The term colonialism defines the specific, economically based and racially entrenched cultural exploitation that developed as Europe expanded over 400 years. While it does not depend on a central imperial power, one of colonialism’s main aims is to colonize, settle, take over and change forever the ways of local and indigenous people. The present paper is an attempt to apply post-colonial approach in Mulk Raj Anand’s Untouchable and Two Leaves and a Bud.
