Abstract	Postcolonialism encompasses a wide variety of approaches and it is not easy to set forward a common definition. It is aimed at disempowering such theories by means of which colonialists perceive, understand and know the world. Postcolonial theory, thus establishes intellectual space for subaltern to speak for themselves, in their own voices. As a general domain of intellectual inquiry, postcolonialism addresses those questions that emerge in relation to the aftermath of imperialism. More often postcolonial theory is concerned with issues of identity, diaspora, alienation, hybridity, language etc. Rajagopal Parthasarathy is one of those poets who suffered from diasporic identity, alienation, cultural conflict and a sense of being uprooted. In the present paper, a humble attempt has been made to analyse his “Rough Passage” from theoretical perspectives. The paper highlights his treatment of issues under postcolonial critical theory.
Keywords	postcolonial, diaspora, alienation.
