Bezbaroa's collection of folktales in three volumes is a very popular literary piece of work in the colonial period. Among these, Burhi Air Sadhu attracts the postcolonial literary critics the most. Several debates and dialogues are going on involving the issues like gender, morality, reconstruction and deconstruction of the folktales of Burhi Air Sadhu, facilitating the thrust to represent the mind of the society. Postcolonial hegemony opens up some plural, complex and contradictory literary interfaces. This paper is an attempt to analyze the post colonial voice in association with the emergent culture and literature.
