Q
Why does post-colonial scholar Homi Bhaba argue that colonial discourse was ambivalent about the colonised?

DD. The colonised did not make enough effort to have their voices heard
Correct Answer:
A. A. Portrayal of the colonised errs towards either a passive and conquerable subject or an irrational, untamed barbarian. this means that the colonial subject becomes consistently stereotyped
