Journal Title: BEST : International Journal of Management, Information Technology and Engineering ( BEST : IJMITE ) - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 11
Abstract
This paper attempts to analyze, how Amitav Ghosh has overthrown historiography, by bringing into view the various aspects of real history and exhibiting them in the novels, The Shadow Lines and The Calcutta Chromosome. Ghosh brings forward the forgotten voices of History, by focusing on the genuine stories of individual people, by the imaginary reconstruction of the past with precision, by refashioning of history with memories and questioning the validity of the grand narratives of the West and the notion of nationalism, creating new identities and recognition of the colonized ‘other’.
