Postcolonial Literature- Model Question Papers

Dear Participants,

As announced repeatedly on the forum, the question paper pattern changes every year, and there's no available question paper that can be uploaded as the model question paper. Also, the previous years' question papers are still confidential, and therefore we cannot upload any sample papers.

The birth year of Jhumpa Lahiri had been erroneously stated as 1969, but the correct date of birth is 1967. It is requested to all to kindly make the corrections in your lecture notes.

For reference, kindly see this video at 00:18:03 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7QVmetNvYqI#t=1083s.
