Post-colonialism studies various facts of relationship between the colonized and the colonizer. Hybridity is an important feature of colonialism. It is the creation of transcultural forms within the contact zone produced by colonialism. The idea of liminality, ambivalance and creolization are associated with the ieda of hybridity. Desai's The Inheritance of Loss neatly portrays the effect of hangover of colonialism and neo-colonialism 'have the prison' syndrome is found in Adiga's The White Tiger. Here too, the main character shows the love-hate relation with his master. He is captive of a hegemonic structure. In both the novels we find the elements of hybridity caused due to socio-economic changes ushered in the aftermath of the end of British colonialism and in the backdrop of globalization and liberalism.
