Diverse Methods of Imperialism during the Post-Colonial Era

Abstract

Post colonialism is the most terrible part as well as a new weapon of colonization. And it is the most effective way ruling or controlling a developing nation. Now a colonizer power can dominate another country very easily by cultural hegemony. The very method was followed by the British when they were dominating in South Asian and African countries. Nowadays the imperialist force does not need to send troops for dominating a country. Rather they can dominate through corrupting the mind of the neo colonized people. Because “Imperialism is a state of mind, fuelled by the arrogance of superiority” (Chy, Golam Sarwar 2004).   After the Second World War territorial colonialism fades away quickly. But it has not abolished totally. Again the developed nations are expanding their economic trap throughout the world. And thereby the developing nations are becoming easy prey to it. So military subjugation is not the only way of dominion. There are other factors like; Culture, education, politics, sports and so on.

Keywords: post colonialism, cultural hegemony, Economical imperialism, Political influence, Colonial games.
