Abstract: One such approach that was used recently is Postcolonialism. The idea of marginalisation is also a wide spoken idea in the case of Postcolonial criticism. In Postcolonial literature, the textual ramification of colonized country is analyzed. The postcolonial theory is applied on various other texts to trace this idea in the texts. Marginalisation or showing hatred or dislike towards the other is an unconscious Xenophobia. Xenophobia is the overwhelming fear for other race. Due to this fear, many people start to detach themselves from races. This gradually produces hatred and make them show cruelty towards the other.
