Cosmopolitan, Postcolonial, Identity, Ethnicity, Culture

The cross-cultural relationship represents a society in which several cultures coexist. It's a mash-up of people of diverse backgrounds (ethnicity, race, religion, etc.). It encourages people of all backgrounds to learn to live and work together, despite their differences. The Shadow Lines provide a framework for blending people of different cultures and ethnicities from one country to another. Amitav Ghosh highlights the possibilities of a society that strives toward a multicultural world where everyone has an identity. The character of Tridib is described in the novel as an extremely intellectual individual who is captivated by love that transcends national boundaries. The diversity in the narrative is justified by the fact that Ila has an affinity with Nick Price that transcends their respective cultures, regardless of the reality that they are of different ethnicities. In the post-colonial age, the diverse ethnic or national cultures that exist beyond boundaries are examined more deeply in this study. This article also delves into the phenomenon of intergenerational and interethnic collaboration, which creates a new cultural identity. The characters in The Shadow Lines will be analyzed to reveal a global perspective that reflects an unprejudiced observation of a homogenous society.
