Describing the post-colonial experience from the perspective of the psychoanalytic theory is the general intention of this study. This paper specifically looks at the trouble of the individuals living in such a post-colonial world, relating this with the individual in the psychoanalytic theory who faces similar sort of alienation in the Lacanian "Symbolic Order." For the careful analysis, Lacanian "Mirror Stage," Freudian psychoanalysis, nationalism, decolonization etc are described which would explain the experience of the never ending attempt of the individual in particular and the colonized society in general to go back for finding to meet the unconscious that is, the desire to be in fullness of power in the imaginary world with the mother or the pre-colonial states. Divided into several parts, this paper, after showing the conflicts raised following the imposition of the colonial or patriarchal rules, describes the process of turning back to the innocence or or the pre-colonial state and finally elaborates how, when the conflicts are unresolved, the problems become permanent which could emphasize the ongoing colonizer-colonized relationship as complex and distressing.
