The world has become a global village due to fast developing technology. In the fast globalizing world in which the boundaries are becoming redundant, there is expected to be cultural openness and co operation. The question of identity is always a difficult one and especially for those who are culturally displaced , as immigrants are those who grow up in two worlds simultaneously. The Namesake is essentially a story about the culture, race and inheritance and how these factors mold our attitudes and direct our lives in the society. The novel follows the lives of Ashima and Ashoke Ganguli , and how they left behind a life in India that they had grown to know and love to live the American dream and provide the best life for themselves and their children. The current research work highlights the cultural Interference and identity crisis in JumpaLahiri’s The Namesake.

Culture, identity, social content, immigrants, alienation.
