The present era may well be conceived in terms of cultural enunciation and articulation of distinct cultural ethos. But the cultural supremacist tendency with myopic parochialism is to be sacrificed for the cultural syncretism that oftentimes celebrates the spirit of multiculturalism. Literature produced by the writers of once colonized countries, particularly in the postcolonial temporality, brings forth the interfaces of culture artifacts of the colonizer and the colonized that substantially celebrates the recuperation of the marginal “local” culture and sustains the dialogue with the “centre”.  The present article explicates how the novels discussed here provide a vision of   alternative modernity against the Eurocentric cultural hegemony through acknowledging the authenticity associated with the indigenous cultural values. But in doing so, it never develop any parochial essentialism, rather adheres to the cultural polyphony made of different cultures.
