Indian Diasporic Expressions: Springy Journey of Indian Migrants

Abstract

Globalization opened vistas to mass mobilization in the world, which is historical. Flexibility with the new culture becomes a significant feature of displacement. Deliberate attempts are made by the migrants to ease the change at a personal or professional level. The process of adaptability is difficult as every individual carries his own socio-cultural and a very strong religious and communal stamping on his personality. India witnesses a huge diaspora community embracing new ways and lifestyles. The statistic shows that over 1.33 crore Indians live in foreign countries. The emerging trend of Indian Diasporic Writing voices tough but springy journey of Indian migrants acclimatizing with the culture of the new land. In this regard, the contribution of the Diaspora to Indian Writing in English is worthy. The present paper highlights the snapshots of Indian Diaspora community presented by major Indian Diaspora Writers like Jhumpa Lahiri, Kiran Desai and Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni.
