Home Fire, Shamsie’s most accomplished work to date, is a contemporary adaptation of Sophocles’ Antigone. Her writings concern about the impact of politics on the lives of individuals. Shamsie vocalises her concerns about how minorities being targeted and erased in the present world. Through rigid law legislation and policy implementation, British government marginalizes Muslims on the ground of global terrorism. Shamsie’s writings mar how innocent lives are tortured, destroyed and victimized in the geopolitical condition of the time. This paper intends to examine how the stereotyping and misrepresentation of Muslim diasporic community could end in negative outcome and also it analyses how the idea of nation and, nationalism as a sentiment have been reimagined over the period.
