@@masoodraja Sir how do you define these terms with respect to postcolonial literature:- Hybridity, migrancy, exoticism, homogenization, cosmopolitanism and globalization.

[@masoodraja]

@@tvtenproduction2 I have a video on globalization the other terms I have not yet created any videos on and cannot address in comments. I will eventually record something on these terms.

Sir please upload detailed explanation of Nativism and hybridity and agguements of critics about these contradictory terms

[@masoodraja]

Thank you. My purpose here is to give basic introduction to these terms. Beyond that my hope is for people to read further a develop a deeper understanding of concepts. I highly recommend reading the basic Wikipedia entries on all these terms and then follow any academic references that they might have.

Thankyou for responding Sir, please upload video on the concept of hybridity

[@masoodraja]

Thank you. I have intentionally not touched Bhabha yet. I will record on hybridity and his other work after I have carefully reread Bhabha.
