Abstract

The question of languages in the colonial and post-colonial studies is undisputable. Language has always remained as an important site for cultural and political domination during the colonial and the post-colonial periods. The colonial enterprise was successful in colonizing our minds, cultures and languages. The imposition of linguistic and cultural practices of the colonizers on the colonized was a norm in all the colonized nations subjecting to various forms of exploitation, resistance, stratifications, trauma and assimilation for the colonized people resulting in deep psychological effects.
