Rohinton Mistry, an Indian Parsi author who migrated from Bombay (now Mumbai) to Canada in 1975, stands as an iconic figure of the post-colonial era. His literary journey began with Tales from Ferozsha Baag, a collection of short stories published in 1987. Subsequently, he crafted three remarkable novels: Such a Long Journey (1991), A Fine Balance (1997), and Family Matters (2002). Additionally, Mistry penned a novella titled The Scream (2008), released in a limited edition of 150 copies to support a Canadian charity. While his works primarily delve into the lives of the Indian Parsi community, also known as Parsees, it is essential not to confine Mistry solely to this identity, as his concerns and narratives extend far beyond, embodying a broader humanistic perspective. This article exemplifies the essence of postcolonialism and its enduring relevance in today's global context.
