Abstract
This study discusses the travelogue of Sheikh Dean Mohammad with reference to the travelogues produced by the non-western writers in the age of colonization, especially that of India and aims to explore the extent to which the writer underwent the process of cathecting. The study employs the lens of assimilation as suggested by Fanon. The writer in this context attempts to align himself with his master and gazes at his people with the same eye. But while doing so, the text by Dean Mohammad becomes less a representation of his own people’s aspirations and culture and more a vigorous portrayal of the colonizer’s point of view about the colonized. The researchers have reviewed the selected chunks of text of Dean Mohammad under the lens provided by the theory of assimilation by Fanon within the parameters of the Qualitative approach and Descriptive method of research. The analysis of the text done so has revealed that the Travelogue by Dean Mohammad has been written more in the fashion of the master colonizer than the representation of the indigenous people.
