important to know about and to define
colonialism. Colonialism is the expansion
of a nation's sovereignty over foreign
territories through forcible occupation.
European colonialism began in the fifteenth
century and reached its culmination point in
the late 19th century. At the height of
European colonialism, more than three
quarters of the earth belonged to European
nations (Britain, France, the Netherlands,
Spain, Portugal, Belgium, Italy, and
Germany). These colonial powers were
interested in increasing their own political
power and in exploiting the colonies'
resources. Most of the indigenous peoples
of colonial territory were oppressed and
enslaved by the occupying power.
Sometimes they were even deported from
fertile land or murdered to make room for
new settlements. Keywords : Article : Cite This Article : Ashok D. Mashale, (2011). The Postcolonial Perspectives In Indian English Novels. Indian Streams Research Journal, Vol. I, Issue.
