dc.description.abstractThis dissertation examines the way characters in Kiran Desai’s Hullabaloo in the Guava Orchard, experience cultural dislocation and cultural ambivalence. It foregrounds the way the colonization leads to cultural deviation, fragmentation, disintegration and identity crisis among the colonized people. The dislocation of the Indian traditional culture is the cause of the cultural ambivalence faced by the characters. Mr. Chawla demonstrates an ambivalent behavior and why Sampath runs away from the society. The researcher has derived theoretical insights from Homi K. Bhabha and Mary Louise Pratt to analyze the issue in the selected primary text. With their critical views, this work has observed cultural ambivalence and its consequences in Hullabaloo in the Guava Orchard. Mr Chawla’s ambivalent character and Sampath’s transformation are found to be the effects of the colonial legacy.
