Abstract

This paper depicts the dichotomy between the self and other by showing colour differences as a parameter of the racist analysis in a post colonial atmosphere. Colour has been regarded as a big signifier for racial identity. The people of India were discriminated on the base of colour.The paper describes how the whites who declared themselves superior and mighty because of their distinctive colour of skin treated the coloured people. The coloured people were ill-treated. The whites are the representatives of the educators, authority ruling class, and religiously and aesthetically superior group.
