The present paper wants to decipher that from a post-colonial perspective; Remembering Babylon is a pessimistic assessment of the colonial project; a lament for the missed opportunities which is a meeting of disparate cultures that could provide for humanity. Gemmy’s double personality can make a cultural harmony between the aborigines and the whites. But neither the aborigines nor the whites accept Gemmy’s identity. Hence it has led to a breakdown of cultural harmony. Thus, the novel can be regarded as participating in the struggle between settler culture and First Nation’s people.
