The mythical form of history is of primary concern to Ghosh. He fictionalizes the real fact of history to make readers aware of the injustices done to human beings since times immemorial. He impressively knits the truth by creating captivating characters, beautiful settings and skilled plots. Ghosh, through his writing awakens our conscience towards the injustices and violence done on human beings in the history, compelling us to question the reason behind these kinds of inhuman acts. He teaches us ethics and expects us to raise questions about history as well as on contemporary events instead of accepting whatever is laid before us. Our awakened conscience will lead us to take steps so as to stop further repetition of injustices done on human beings. The present paper studies the subversion of the history through the narrative of The Shadow Line.
