Trans-nationality and cross culturalism: Contradictions in genetic elucidation

Abstract

The world scenario, not merely in the field of literature but also in almost all other fields, is replete with contradictions. We speak of post-colonialism, but we conveniently forget that most of the erstwhile colonies are now independent nation-states. In the same manner, Colonialism is a term that critically refers to the political ideologies which legitimated the modern invasion, occupation and exploitation of inhabited lands by overwhelming outside military powers. Globalization has also resulted in undermining of democratic process in developing countries. In fact, so many major decisions related to social issues are imposed on developing countries by their developed partners. It is in view of these contradictions that the present paper presents the contemporary world scenario.
