Post Colonial Perspectives in Aravind Adiga s Last Man in Tower

Name of Author : S. Lakshmi

Abstract: This paper endeavours to show that colonialism and imperialism are not at all defunct even after their formal termination and how Globalization has affected the social as well as cultural values. It analyses how globalization as a form of neocolonialism in the postcolonial period influences the English literature with special reference to Aravind Adiga’s novel Last Man in Tower. In Last Man in Tower Adiga has depicted Mumbai as a commercial and financial hub which has emerged as place of assorted opportunities. To have a pucca house in Mumbai is a distant dream of middle class because of the corrupt politicians and their intimate relations with the developers.
