Domination and exploitation are the basic features of colonial discourse. In fact colonialism operates through economic exploitation and political as well as psychological domination of the subject by our colonial master. A hegemonic structure is created that becomes the norm. The postcolonial society is not totally free from the residual impacts of the hegemonic structure of the colonizers. Although the political control is overthrown the psychic control continues in the form of a sense of awe for the manners and values of the colonizers. Most postcolonial societies suffer from the love-hate relation with the erstwhile masters. The narrative of domination continues invisibly. The present paper tries to show this narrative of domination and the protest against the colonial hegemony present in the society depicted in the two novels i.e. The White Tiger and The Inheritance of Loss.
