Abstract	The proposed research aims to establish science fiction as a critical framework that can challenge preconceived notions of Western science fiction and provide alternative possibilities of existence. The study involves reading various SF narratives from different ages, including Sultana’s Dream (1905), Calcutta Chromosome (1995), Escape (2008), The Island of Lost Girls (2015), and The Woman Who Thought She Was a Planet and Other Stories (2008). The goal is to show how this subgenre reflects a postcolonial society's struggle to establish a foothold in the new world order. These works present a vision of national consciousness that is influenced by the Western canon but is proud of its traditions.
Keywords	postcolonial, science fiction, alternative possibilities, resistance, paradigms.
