'Home' and 'The Immigrant' is an exploration of the themes of identity and displacement in the two novels by Manju Kapur. The study analyses how the characters in these novels grapple with their sense of self in relation to their physical and cultural surroundings. Through a close reading of the texts, the study examines the impact of Migration, Cultural Hybridity, and the changing social and economic landscape on the characters' sense of self. The study also explores the ways in which the novels reflect the larger socio-political context of contemporary India. Ultimately, the study argues that Manju Kapur's novels offer a nuanced and complex understanding of the individual and collective experiences of migration and identity formation in a rapidly changing World. Her observation of life around her is acute. Her novels are feminist in tone and manner. All her novels deal with the dilemma faced by women in Indian society. She speaks of the middle class and has even earned many comparisons with Jane Austen for her portrayal of the middle class, often trapped in awkward situations and very sharp and chiselled idea of the feminine self. Even for the characterization that happened. Obviously it seems that her characterization is a neat depiction of the structure and fabric of the society.
