The Concept of Postcolonial Othering in The Reluctant Fundamentalist and Exit West by Mohsin Hamid
The current study intends to explore the clash between East and West as depicted by Mohsin Hamid in his novels 'The Reluctant Fundamentalist' and ‘Exit West.’ The study looks at how far and how efficiently Mohsin Hamid has portrayed the concept of Postcolonial Othering in his literature, and analyzes its consequences on Asian and Western People. For this purpose, it has followed the qualitative interpretivism research methodology, in which the analysis is conducted through a review of Hamid's selected literature, as well as scholarly published articles. The collected data was further analyzed through inclusion and exclusion criteria, and findings were used to reflect the dimension of postcolonial literature towards highlighting the social and cultural issues, as well as the victimization of communities in the name of decolonization. Overall, the reason for conducting this research is to highlight the curse, which the world was facing due to the absence of legislative structure, policies, and social frameworks.
