Colonial discourse was based on binary opposition of
“we”” and “other” in which the “other” was recognized as a fixed,
generalized image of the colonized. Postcolonial methodology
represented a new look which aimed to show the political importance of
culture in the formation and reflection of the above mentioned
imperialist ideology and opposed the durability of it. By this way, as a
part of culture literature has been viewed not only as aesthetic art but as
one of the most effective medium to convey socio-political ideology.
However, multiculturalism offers more liberal approach, free from
mutual accusation, which is based on the recognition of cultural
diversity. This is the only way to put an end to violence stemming from
indignation of cultural differences for political ambitions. Pakistani
English Literature sets an example of a multicultural milieu which
reflects not only the possibility of living side by side in spite of our
cultural multiplicity but also the possibility of acquiring a hybrid
identity, which gives a unique chance to live beyond borders and develop
our personality reflecting diversity of cultural heritage.
