Decolonization means the process of reversing the colonization power dynamics, getting free from the colonizing authority, becoming independent.
Explanation:
Decolonization is a term used to refer to the act or process of becoming independent of the colonizing power. This word is generally used in relation to deconstructing the ideologies and beliefs, traditions of colonizers over their colonized nations.
The word "colonization" is used to refer to the process of taking some weaker or inferior nation by force and influencing their lifestyle and way of living, away from their usual and traditional pattern. So, the word "decolonization" will refer to the reversal of that process, where the colonized become free from the colonizer. This will include deconstructing the Western belief and thought ideologies of the powers that used to ‘rule’ the weaker nations. In simple terms, it is the undoing or breaking of the colonization system.
