Anita Desai's "Bye-Bye Blackbird" delves into profound existential themes, reflecting the challenges of cultural displacement, alienation, and the struggle for adaptation experienced by Indian immigrants in England. Desai adopts the role of a silent observer, meticulously examining the intricacies of life and human psychology. Through her narrative, Desai not only highlights the experiences of individuals like Dev and Adit but also offers a broader perspective on the plight of all Asian immigrants, referred to as "blackbirds," grappling with the complexities of immigration.
