Abstract
This paper will traverse the after effects of colonization which has resulted in loss of identity of many who have borne the brunt of colonization. It will extenuate selected Indian characters depicted in Kiran Desai’s novel The Inheritance of Loss (2006). The study finds that these characters are struggling with an identity dilemma which induces their inner- conflicts, double consciousness and resistance due to the dominance of colonial system. The research attempts to draw special attention on how the meeting of East and West culture brings complication in the life of individuals. It will scrutinise the after effects of colonization and the loss of identity and the way it travels through generations as a sense of loss.
