Man has been in search of opportunities and convenience for a better living, from the time immemorial. The Bible says “The Israelites journeyed from Rameses to Sukkoth. There were about six hundred thousand men on foot, besides women and children” (Exodus 12:37).The Israelites had been into the slavery under Egypt and they hoped to escape from that. Following the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war, lakhs of people have already migrated to other countries. ‘6,60,000 Ukrain citizens have migrated to the neigh boring countries following the Russian invasion over Ukrain (‘Deepika’ Daily, March 2, 2022). This sort of migration , happens by chance and by choice, at times. The historic westward movement of people began centuries ago. America, being the biggest financial power in the world, has a history of accommodating the migrants who reached there by choice and by force. Thousands of people were brought from African countries to the U.S, as slaves during the 15-16 centuries. The United Kingdom being once the biggest Imperial Power had their colonies worldwide. After the end of the colonial rule in many countries, including the U.S.A,world has come to a new phenomenon called the Globalization. It is a social, cultural and political phenomenon. It causes much social interaction between the peoples of the world. America, being the biggest financial power in the world, hosts people from all parts of the world. The migrants get good job opportunity over there. But, at the same time division in the name of color and race has been a problem for the migrants. Back home, India had been into the imperial hold of the British for years until it gained the independence in the year 1947. India faced many internal threats such as the insurgencies of the Gorkha activists, for so many years. The Inheritance Loss is a Novel which speaks about the multiculturalism, identity crisis etc. which happen due to the Globalization process across the world. It deals mainly with the stories two characters, Sai and Biju. Sai goes through the alienation due to the internal restlessness in the country due the strikes and insurgencies by the Gorkha liberation Front activities and her multicultural interactions at home. Biju is in confusion in the U.S.A, as he does not have a Green Card for the permanent stay and job in the country. He is facing a lot of racial problems there.
