ABSTRACT

Marginalization alludes to the plain demonstrations and trends within societies whereby those apparent as lacking function or desirable attributes are barred from existing frameworks of protectionism, consequently restricting their methods for survival And Cultural hegemony is a term created by Antonio Gramsci, lobbyist, scholar, and author of the Italian Communist gathering. ... Gramsci understood that so as to make and keep up another general public, you additionally expected to make and keep up another consciousness. The focal point of this paper is to explain the reasonable revelation of control of 'one world' over the 'other.' In the angle of Antonio Gramsci's ideological thoughts, the endless battle of oppression is distinctively talked about in the compositions of Chinua Achebe, Ngugi wa Thiango of African Literatures. On the off chance that we examine the 'cultural hegemony' in the Elite literariness of modern writers in the Indian writings like Mulkraj Anand's Untouchable, Coolie and other and Shashi Deshpande's The Binding Wine, That Long Silence, Anitha Desai's Cry, The Peacock, the cliché depiction of marginalized world is compactly talked about.
