Abstract: This research examines colonial themes in Anwar Ridhwan's work Tales of Ogonshoto, with the intention of gaining insight into how colonial power and cultural imposition are portrayed in Malaysian literature. The purpose of this research is to identify major aspects of colonialism in the novel and compare these themes to current situations. The study investigates the text's narrative approaches and thematic aspects using a qualitative analysis and postcolonial theory. This research is significant because it fills the gap in academic research on Malaysian postcolonial literature. The result shows the novel's representation of colonial rule, exploitation, and cultural identity loss, as well as similarities to contemporary societal challenges. The study believes that Tales of Ogonshoto offers a vital comprehension into the continuing influence of colonialism on modern society.
