Abstract:
This paper quite strategically maps out the range,
flow and nature of power structure where the force of power
taking its shift from one group to another implies its
omnipresent nature. The novel Last Man in Tower showing the
exigency of identity and culture in the post-colonial background
focuses on the growth and radical development of
communalism and commercialism that consume the value and
importance of individualism. On the other hand, the novel
emphasises on the praxis of popular culture in the framework
of power circulation in metropolitan cum cosmopolitan cities
showing the universal crux of cultural presentation in the age
of globalization. Adiga believes that the popular culture does
not belong to any cultural industry, but to the people; it is
produced from within, not imposed by capitalism. The popular
culture with its deterioration and development at its peak in a
discourse of power politics touches every sphere of life.
