Amitav ghosh is one of the best Indians writing in English with post-colonial perception. This paper highlights the history and memory of the plight of the migrants and their rootlessness in Amitav Ghosh’s The Glass Palace. In this historical novel, he depicts a lot about the colonizer aggression as well as colonized repression of people through the character Rajkumar the protagonist. It deals with the Colonization of Burma and the migration of young men as soldiers and laborers and explores the impact of migration on the political social, psychological and cultural lives of colonized subaltern and royal family. Ghosh portrays the conquest and the aspirations, defeats and disappointments of the migrated people in India, Burma, China, Malaysia and America through the characters such as king Thebaw, Queen Supayalat, Saya John, Rajkumar, Dolly and Jaya. Ghosh narrates the history of three generations of two families in Burma, India,and Malaya and makes the people completely unconscious of their roots and makes them feel alienated in their own country.
