Unveiling the Chiaroscuro- Interrogating the Power Politics in Michael Ondaatje’s Anil’s Ghost

Abstract

An emerald isle in an azure ocean, the land is densely covered with a carpet of lush green vegetation. The island bears witness to a history that is as old as many
ancient civilizations in the world. Home to the ancient kingdom of Ravana, the testament to megalithic cultures. The teardrop shaped island at the foot of the Indian
peninsula, Sri Lanka is a pristine palace of the natural gods of a forgotten mythology.
