Title

Women in Indian Diaspora

Authors

Abstract

The term ‘diaspora’ is used to refer to any people or ethnic population forced or induced to leave their traditional ethnic homelands; being dispersed through out other parts of the world; and the ensuing developments in their dispersal and culture. Indian diaspora possess a vivid and vital portion in Indian English Literature. And in this perspective we have to cite the role of Indian women writers who bears a brilliant and dazzling part of the Indian diaspora. Various ism like post-colonialism, feminism, post modernism are mingled proportionately in the writing of these Indian diasporic women writers. Their creation emits a salient flavour of exotic land as well as they bear the exquisite and receded beauty of their homeland. Multiple dimensions of life within a multicultural milieu has been elevated by their writing. And in this relevance we have to mention the matter of Americanization. America, the dreamy abode of prosperity and material comforts confers their writing a different charm. The cadence of language floats from the penury to opulence; from superstition to pragmatic knowledge and from gloominess to conflagration. The dual nature of the life impeccantly pictured by these women writers. Gradually they have become the facet of Indian diaspora. Fiction by Indian women writers constitutes a major segment of contemporary Indian diaspora literature. The women novelists of Indian diaspora in USA are Bharati Mukherjee, Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni, Kiran Desai, Sujata Massey, Indira Ganeshan and Jhumpa Lahiri. These writers have made their homeland memorable and popular by writing about it. Through the movements of migration on immigration writers are turned diasporic. It depends upon individual’s response to the adopted country and acceptance by the host. This acceptance also depends upon the value/importance of diasporic individual to the host society. It the initial stage they are ‘outsiders’ and face the question – who am I ? The initial works of diaspora writers are autobiographic and focus on the issues like nostalgia, rootlessness, homelessness, dislocation and displacement. There are two moves of the diasporic writers – 1) Temporal Move – a look backward to the past and a look forward at the future. It produces nostalgia, themes of survival and cultural assimilation. 2) The Spatial Move – involves a deterritarialization and reterritorialization connected by journey. It is observed distinctly in the writings of Bharati Mukherjee (Jasmine, Desirable Daughters, The Tree Bride), anjana Appachana(Listening now), Jhumpa Lahiri(Interpreter of Maladies, Namesake), Kiran Desai(The Inheritence of Loss, Hullaballo in the Guava Orchard) and others.
