DESCRIPTION
Edward Said's Orientalism is a master piece to the extent it exposes Western hypocrisies to understand the Orient. The West has always understood the Orient on the basis of its own knowledge-power paradigms. The issue of the marginalization of the poor and the deprived was reinforced by the British with more sophisticated strategies. Indian English Muslim novelists have their common enemy in capitalism, feudalism, new and more vitriolic centres of power, and so on. Dr. Maner has done an exceptional work by placing together noted Muslim novelists of the pre-Independence period.
