Literature from the Northeast is usually rendered with a homogeneous proliferation of signifiers ... more Literature from the Northeast is usually rendered with a homogeneous proliferation of signifiers that dissolve its native capacities. The Northeast Literature is structured as a possible stance against majoritarian discourses. However, most commentators who view this particular regional literature in terms of an assortment for access often fail to locate the displaced qualifiers which are integrated into such socio-literary practices. While a segment of the literary output from the region is decidedly an attempt towards integration or absorption into “central” discourses, there also exists a substantial voicing of the resistance which is offered by means of extending the regional identity. The question of this micro-politic endorsement is arguably best rendered in the poetry of the Shillong-based poet, Kynpham Sing Nongkynrih. Nongkynrih assumes the role of a revisionist who recapitulates the identity-experience of the Northeast in the form of a politico- poetics that distinguishes him from the mainstream Indian English poets or even from the largesse of the Northeastern poets. An essential denominator for Nongkynrih is his sublative poetic existence which owes much to the historical, contemporary and lived-experiences which illuminates the ethos of a Khasi identity. The following paper would attempt to evaluate Nongkynrih’s poetry in light of the political, socio-cultural and literary scenario of the Northeast, and the imbroglio which is encouraged further by his poetic engagement.
Society and Culture in South Asia

By attempting to read the sense of hybridisation that a post-diasporic immigrant undergoes, Kureishi has consistently denied the relatively easier amalgam of the 'postcolonial' nomenclature. His debut novel The Buddha of Suburbia (1990) almost singlehandedly led to the advent of the contemporary generic strain of immigrant multiethnic literature that consists of such authors as Zadie Smith and Monica Ali. The present paper attempts to read into the biographical roots of Kureishi's novel as well as the thematic endorsements that he brings into his sense of Postcoloniality, hybridisation of cultures and multiethnicity in a postcolonial world. By introducing theoretical angularities from Homi Bhabha, Stuart Hall, Gayatri Spivak and others, the paper is an attempt to read the text contextually as well as with its historicity.
