Abstract

Nativism or nationalism both carried one strong message of love, devotion, dedication for a country from an individual, a group of people to a whole nation. It is an ideology, a belief that holds people together living in the same country but with different cultures, languages, traditions, education, religion, and a different perspective of seeing life. This research delved into performing a comparative and theoretical analysis of R K Narayan’s The Guide and Syed Waliullah’s The Ugly Asian. Here the paper is based on nativism or nationalism, the attitude and the actions of the characters presented in the books with the point of view of the writers. R K Narayan’s The Guide pictured a rural man and his journey, journey toward finding himself, finding his unconditional love for people, and finding the nationalist under his bare skin where the heartbeats. Syed Waliullah’s The Ugly Asian is breaking the chain which tries to suffocate freedom of the country, whether it is the fraudulent and anti-people government or the bloodsucking white-skin colonial people.
