Abstract

The study on Post colonial or socio eco resistance is an outcome of the continuation of colonial imperialism in various modes such as modern capitalism, racism, gender discrimination, castes’, communal and community discord and regionalism, urbanism, marital and familial chores and etc in the transmodern era of literature. Those forms of several differences prevalent in the contemporary society in India are the main focus of the research analysis. Generally, literature of the contemporary period is addressing all such chores of humanity with detailed description of silent resistance of the oppressed by going beyond post colonialism. To reinstate the definition of socio eco resistance or post colonial resistance the following well-saying by Lopez and Marzec is the best example. He says,” The recent literature is the lucid portrayal of discontent and dissent of those living in global urban centres against the politics of neo liberalism moves beyond the previous limited focus (colonial/ national histories and diasporas) of post colonialism” (Lopez and Marzec 677-79). It is believed that Postcolonial literature has emerged from Common wealth literature.
