Postcolonial literature is the literature of resistance, especially, with reference to the representations of the orient by the west. Postcolonial writers are the indigenous voices as representation of the indigenous, and they are, therefore, the voices of the subalterns, significantly because they are being heard. Pakistani fiction is significant in this context because the voices of resistance come from the Pakistani writers, either residing in the west or who have divided their time between Pakistan and western centers of power. Though, so far, these voices exist only in the third space, yet with the passage of time, the forces of globalization and market have brought such voices at the forefront with a manifold rise in their audience. The writers such as, Mumtaz Shahnawaz, Tallat Abbasi, Zulifkar Ghose, Zaibunissa Hameedullah, Bapsi Sidhwa, Kamila Shamsie, Mohammad Hanif, Mohsin Hamid, and many others, have played a significant part in creating and highlighting such voices of resistance.
