This important study debates in detail the Critical discourse analysis of The Reluctant Fundamentalist, a famous work by Mohsin Hamid. The theoretical framework by Ruth Wodak, for current research work discusses in detail, the strategies which involve in the making of the particular ideology in the discourse. Discussion on the Critical Race theory is also a very important aspect of this chapter. This particular work traces the history and the major research works in which CRT applies. All of the characters feel and sense that in their collective unconsciousness and none of the characters are in a position to change their stance. Racism is like hanging in the collective unconsciousness of the people from both sides that is shown in the reaction of the people which are extremely strong, abrupt and impulsive. Impulsive reactions of the social actors arise when something come to them suddenly and they have no other option but to give their response in an unthinking manner. The differences over the ideologies of the people from both sides are so inherently strong in the minds of the people that these have become instinctive reactions that can be seen over the faces of the people as observed by Changez in the novel.
