ABSTRACT
The goal of this research is to find the aspects of the post-colonial philosophy which are mentioned in Kamila Shamsie’s book Burnt
Shadows (metropolitanism, other, hybridity, nativism, and diaspora). The work discusses the happenings of those who suffered
before and during the partition of India. The objective of this research is to examine how British colonizers behaved with their
colonized (Indians) and how those colonized responded to their injustice. The history of India before and under the British Raj is
also covered in the thesis. Furthermore, it talks about how the earlier oppressors who had already ruled India before the arrival of
the English were treated. The British also occupied and ruled India, but they did so in a way that was different compared to all
other previous rulers.
Keywords: Colonizers, Colonized, British Raj, India, Partition.
