Pandey, Anita Singh 363 —Prof. Ram Bhagwan Singh Editorial The term ‘post-colonial’ refers to a period after the end of colonial rule. Obviously 1947 is the starting point in India. But what about the finishing mark? Is it endless in time span? Some scholars wonder if we have really come to a post-colonial phase interpreting coloniality in a wider perspective and not just a political phenomenon, and they talk of decolonizing the mind and neo-colonial situation in this context. On the contrary, some scholars strongly argue that ‘post-colonial’ phase came to an end in 1990’s with the rise of globalization and the post-colonial theories were taken over by theories pertaining to technology, electronics and cyber. ‘e’ has become the buzz word in this cyber age that has made real time data, connectivity and accessibility possible and ushered in an age of transparency, digital and virtual reality.
