Abstract: Gita Mehta is postmodern historical writer; she intentionally intermingles the history in her fiction. The presentation of history and the political ideologies are presented through her novels. The development of the character and story happens around proper political and historical background. The historical incidents make changes or affects the life of characters in the fiction. This is one type of intermingling historical events in the fiction. The real historical characters and events are used with the fictitious character in the novel. The facts are fictionalised in her work. The historical incidents are a prime subject of her narratives and that all are fictionalised. When she writes the fiction, she is much aware that this is the fictitious description of history and politics. She uses the intertextuality in her text because almost entire fiction talks about the historical incidents. The polyphony adequately uses in Gita Mehta’s fictions. The aim of the paper is to provide the post-modern narrative technique in relation with most celebrated concept historiographic metafiction in the novel.
