Language is the sole tool that suplies meaning to our
consciousness.Whether we accept the Essentialist
approach of Aristotle or switch to the structualist
approach of Saussure we can not deny this pivotal
service of language to human existence.However
there are subtle yet significant differences between
the two approaches on the above cited realm of
Socio-Cultural fabric.The present study is an
attempt to bring into light the contradictory
consequences of the two approaches on the above
cited realm in which the human existence is
embedded. Not only this, the effort has also been
made to trace the differences in the attitudes of the
intruders (British Colonizers) and the local people of
Punjab by making an appeal to the two theories
mentioned above.By using the second order signification as advocated by Roland Barthes
especially in his text Myth and Meaning. It has been
established that the attitude of the local Punjabi
people was justified related to the matters of Turban
and Horse sharing and the colonizers were simply
manipulating the centrality of these things owing to
their Essestialist adherence.
