The methodology of postcolonialism was a manifestation of a fresh appearance that set out to demonstrate how culture was politically significant in the construction and representation of the aforementioned imperialist ideology and acted against the sustainability of the same. Through this, culture literature has not only been considered as aesthetic art, but also one of the most effective means of expressing socio-political ideology. Nevertheless, multiculturalism proposes more liberal strategy, without mutual reproach, and is supported by the awareness of cultural diversity. Only in this way, violence because of the indignation of the differences in culture can be stopped due to the political ambitions. Pakistani English Literature presents an example of a multicultural environment that not only hints at the potential of coexisting and living together despite our diversity but also acquiring hybrid identity, which provides us with a distinct opportunity to live beyond boundaries and shaping our personality that can reflect multiplicity in our cultural background.

Introduction As a form of social philosophy, multiculturalism has manifested itself due to the necessity of resolving conflict in systems of cultural values. As a cultural form, literature possesses some distinctive characteristic to be viewed in a variety of perspectives and develop a feeling of living through the existence of various life situations and not being directly engaged in the debating matter. Multiculturalism has been reflected in the ideological level, in thematic base and in stylistic elements of literary composition. This paper seeks to elaborate on this view in the light of Pakistani English Literature. This aspect of an experience of immigration that embraces not only a geographical displacement but a displacement of culture, history and ideas, a displacement of concepts, and brings great psychological crises and profound internal moral conflict is directly connected with the main theme in Pakistani English Literature. It is an experience of pain that is brilliantly captured in the efforts of Nadim Aslam, Mohsin Hamid and Kamila Shamsie. They address the ethical dilemma based on the confusion between nativity and alienation which not only exists in society but also within their homes between generation. Meanwhile, they embody the prospect of being a cultural hybrid, whose thought transcends any migration notion. In the course of the history of modern Pakistani English literature, the novel taken on a kind of role as a dominant form that is persistently forming. Such elevation has no minor theoretical rationality: a specification by Georg Lukac: the novel is the exemplifying art-form of our time” (Lukac 1971: 93) is indicative of just how well defined the structures of the novel are to the sociocultural context of modernity. Specifically, Lukacs puts the power of the novel to express a collective sense of transcendental homelessness (93) at the forefront. Transnational,
