PLACE, DISPLACEMENT AND IDENTITY: INDIAN DIASPORIC FICTION

Dr. Nagaratna V. Parande

Abstract :

 Place and displacement are always featured in Indian diasporic writings. This feature opens up a oader concept where post–colonial crisis of individuality comes into reality. When a novel carries elements of place and displacement, the theme of identity is always reflected, this originates from a sense of displacement. The sense of displacement may have derived from migration, enslavement or even alterity which may be put forward by similarities or differences between different cultures. This concept has been heavily reflected in Indian diasporic fiction. The present paper explores the theme of identity and diasporic writers’ negotiation with space.
