Humans have been migrating and dispersing ever since the dawn of time. The Indian diaspora is one of the biggest in the world, as is well known. It is generally accepted that reading a nation's literature is the best way to learn about its traditions and culture. The experiences of migrants, the ambiguity that envelops and fills them in distant nations, and the hardships they experience in trying to find their identity are all depicted in diaspora literature. They are forced to navigate a difficult gap between numerous worlds and cultures where they are unable to fully assimilate into their adoptive home country or forget where they originally came from because of how different it would be now. It is not easy to give definition of Indianness. Indianness is an amalgam of culture, tradition and custom. This research paper explores the Indianness in the writings of Indo-Canadian contemporary diasporic women writers Anita Rao Badami and Anubha Mehta. These women writers artistically describe Indian culture, nostalgic feelings, and their experiences through their works.
