An Inquiry on disregarding Tradition in the Indian Subcontinent; Taking Lahore as A Case Study
Abstract
This research explores the dilapidation of Tradition from sophistication to taboo in the Indian subcontinent, particularly In Lahore. British Colonizer's supremacy manifests in the region under the British East India Company (Company) and later British Raj. The argument in this research is based on the supposition that the British manipulation and resultant Othering' caused the traditional sophistication to become distasteful. It is established through national and international postcolonial literature, and then its impact on Natives is documented, taking Lahore as Case Study. The research concludes that the 'othering' by British colonizers inculcated an inferiority complex in Natives. Resultantly, natives wished to be 'like Colonizer and abhorred their Tradition. It is recommended to overcome the inferiority complex and appreciate the traditional ways that might prove the right choice.
