Multiculturalism has become the order of the day in metropolitan cities all over the world. Mixture of different cultures or practise of various cultures within a boundary is known as multiculturalism. Multiculturalism has become one of the commonest features of anthropogenic age. Metropolitan cities like Mumbai, Kolkatta, Chennai, New Delhi, Bangaloru and other metropolitan cities all over the world accepted and effectively practise multiculturalism. In cities like London, Paris and New York, we could find people of all the nations living and working together. People migrate from their native country to another for various reasons. As soon as they reach a new nation, a number alien atmospheres creep around them. They feel the sense of loneliness and rootlessness. They often indulge in nostalgia about their home country. They do not merely undergo the geographical relocation, but they also undergo social, political, cultural, economic, religious and psychological relocations. They neither have the hold of their native country nor the adopted country. This paper tries to explore the multicultural elements found in Kiran Desai’s acclaimed novel, The Inheritance of Loss.
