The critique Contextualising Gramgeeta and mapping out the trajectories of tradition and reality explores the post-colonial discourse in historical and cultural contexts with new comparative assertions. The comparative cultural analysis and interpretation purport to investigate the nature of the problems such as how post-colonial discourse deconstructs the text/s, how cultural hegemony operates and how Gramgeeta counter-discourses. The corollary questions are whether the post-colonial discourse in the text offers paradigms to fill the void and fissures in multi-variant realities, which post-modernism celebrates, and if we listen to the subaltern voices in historical-cultural frameworks.
