The paper mainly focuses on postcolonial and cultural theoretical concepts such as hybridity, residual, dominant and emergent. Raymond Williams, Homi.K.Bhabha, and Stuart Hall have elaborately discussed about the ‘in-between’ spaces in their writings. Baba’s concept of hybridity is closely associated with ‘third space’ which is in between the subject and their idealized other. Hybridity, here refers to mixing of eastern and western culture and traditions. In the novel, The Kite Runner Hosseini embodies hybridity through the character, Aamir and Baba. When they leave Afghanistan and settles in America. Where they follow both Afghan as well as American culture, they are not forced to adopt this culture, rather they themselves get adopted to it. The novel revolves around father-son relationship, friendship, caste, repentance and brave. The novel occasionally talks about communal issues. The Muslim community is divided into two Pashtuns high class Muslim and Hazara low class Muslim. So, the present study entirelydevotes itself to the study of hybridity in the novel.
