Title

Uprootedness and Resettlement in Diaspora: Lahiri’s The Lowland

Authors

Abstract

Abstract: This paper explores the theme of uprootedness and resettlement of Bengali immigrants to America in Jhumpa Lahiri’s novel The Lowland. Uprootedness and resettlement is also an important aspect in diaspora. Lahiri employes this theme in her most recent novel The Lowland. Lahiri is one of the most significant Indian diaspora in the present time. She was born in 1967 in London to Bengali parents. Later with her family she moved to the US. She grew up in the background of traditional Bengali culture. Often she accompanied her parents back to India, especially to Kolkata. In the opening of the novel we meet two inseparable brothers Subhash and Udayan Mitra. After their schooling they get apart. Subhash pursues his graduate studies in Rhode Island while Udayan engages in the radical revolutionary activity. Subhash forges an independent life apart from his brother. Catastrophic circumstances compels Subhash to come back to India, where he finds that Udayan has contributed to a movement that had been misguided, that had caused only damages. Subhash has grown increasingly conscientious and self-sacrificing. He becomes dutiful, he marries, he becomes a sort of hero, providing for his family and caring for his daughter.
