A. It rejects the claims of universalism made in the canonical Western literature.
B. It foregrounds the questions of cultural difference and diversity as represented in literary
texts,
C. It acts on the principles of peaceful co-existence.

Choose the correct answer from the options given below,
Answer and explanation
Correct answer B
Postcolonial criticism rejects the universal claims of the Western canon, foregrounds cultural difference and diversity, values hybridity and cultural plurality, as in Homi Bhabha's work, and resists homogenising identities based on race, class or nation. So A, B, D and E apply. Peaceful co-existence is a principle of foreign policy, not a premise of postcolonial criticism.
