Postcolonial literature is an increasingly rich area of study in the new world
scenario when the East and the West are trying more than ever to get closer across
apparently insurmountable rifts. The trans-national muddled voices of the colonized
states are to be heard distinctly now in English literature, more than ever, pointing
at the widening gap between the margin and the centre. The English language,
which is the largest legacy of colonization, is made to voice the predicament of the
postcolonial experience. The severe feeling of inadequacy and estrangement,
resulting in a loss of identity, is one of the prominent issues being addressed in the
postcolonial literature. Sara Suleri in her Meatless Days boldly delineates the
discomforts and inadequacies of belonging to and living in two cultures at the same
time. Though Suleri’s father was a renowned Pakistani journalist and her mother
was Welsh, still she could not help the feeling of being lost somewhere between
the margin and the imperial centre.
