        abstract = {Because it incorporates several creative and critical works that were previously considered to be binary, Amitav Ghosh's The Hungry Tide is an example of a postmodern text. Because what is myth and what is history depend on the interpreter's subjective position regarding the relationship he shares with the narrative in question regarding time and space, history and myth flow into each other's domain in Ghosh's text, creating a fluid wall in the construction of canonical genres. In order to produce a time-inflected narrative where the "story" is both inside and outside of time, this article aims to examine the various facts of myth construction in terms of historical narratives as well as ethnographic ones. This Article focuses on the cultural politics associated with identity construction and the evident consequences that follow from such an endeavour. The focus is on how history is constructed as a component of one's own lived experiences, which lends history a subjective perspective and a narrative that is reliant on the narrator's desired vision.  Lastly, this article suggests investigating ethnic local myth beliefs and the way the insider/outsider dialectic is formed as a result of this diachronic system, where locals are more likely to appropriate myths because they are a part of their local cultural system than outsiders, who take their time to comprehend the given coordinates of the function known as culture.},
