Diaspora In Indian Female Writers: A Study

Abstract:

            Generally diasporic literature deals with alienation, displacement, existential rootlessness, nostalgia and quest for identity. It also addresses issues related to disintegration or amalgamation of cultures. Diaspora Theory with its various features has influenced the literature of every language of the world. Diasporic literature chiefly speaks of diasporic experience at various levels-customs, place, language, myths, geographical displacement, beliefs, changes adopted and constraints. Indian diaspora is constantly involved in redefining India and Indianess. Diasporic writing is the work of exile who has experienced unsettlement at the existential and metaphysical levels. This paper focuses on Diaspora Indian writers and their writings.
