Language is the sole tool that suplies meaning to our consciousness.Whether we accept the Essentialist approach of Aristotle or switch to the structualist approach of Saussure we can not deny this pivotal service of language to human existence.However there are subtle yet significant differences between the two approaches on the above cited realm of Socio-Cultural fabric.The present study is an attempt to bring into light the contradictory consequences of the two approaches on the above cited realm in which the human existence is embedded. Not only this, the effort has also been made to trace the differences in the attitudes of the intruders (British Colonizers) and the local people of Punjab by making an appeal to the two theories mentioned above.By using the second order signification as advocated by Roland Barthes especially in his text Myth and Meaning. It has been established that the attitude of the local Punjabi people was justified related to the matters of Turban and Horse sharing and the colonizers were simply manipulating the centrality of these things owing to their Essestialist adherence.
