Abstract

In common it is supposed that Colonialism is a term keeping dominate or control one country or a region through cultural imposition, economic domination or any other way. It denotes the word colonialism of any implication of an encounter between peoples or of conquest domination. On the other hand post-colonialism shows social, economic or cultural responses after ended colonial period or rule. We find effect of colonial and postcolonial spirit in the writings of some Assamese writers including Birinchi Kumar Barua. His two novels could not stand out of influence of colonial effects. His famous novel Jiwanar Batat is a fine example in this context. The whole plot of the novel constituted on the environments where we recognize much or less changes in our Assamese society having affected with colonial prejudiced. My short study will attempt to focus on colonial and post-colonial allusions in Birinchi Kumar Barua’s novel Jiwanar Batat.
