Abstract
This study is a critique of hybridity in the light of Bakhtinian Theory of
Dialogism/Hetroglossia with reference to Post Colonial texts, Twilight in Delhi and
White Mughals. Hetroglossia which Bakhtin hails as the characteristic stylistic feature of
the novel, celebrates not, as structuralism does, the systematic nature of language, the
variety of social speech types, and the diversity of voices interacting with one another.
Center to Bakhtinain belief, language is fundamentally dialogic. This study is
particularly to explore the role of dialogism as social hetroglot phenomenon.
Hetroglossia can be studied as a social force which stratifies or directs the unitary
system of language into its own ideological and formal orientation, and how it relates to
the literary analysis of the particular texts and other concepts mentioned above. This
paper analyzes Ahmad Ali’s Twilight in Delhi and White Mughals to investigate the
essence of dialogic hetroglossia that is directly proportionate with cultural hybridity.
