A Glimpse into the Psychology of Diasporic People

Dr Parul Yadav

Abstract :

Latest in the term ‘dispora is the idea or event of ‘displacement‘ which ings about an encounter with alien people and their culture. There may be ‘displacement‘ of an individual or the migration of a population or a section of a social group. The historical event of migration does not end with physical ‘displacement‘; it includes the struggle for survival in the host country. Of all the problems that such dislocation ings forth, it is the problem of cultural identity without which an honourable survival cannot be imagined. Even those who are engaged in the evaluation of the diasporic saga of survival have to answer the questions related to socio–cultural dislocations.Such people have a characteristic psychology since they are tossed between hopes and fears, joys and sorrows, peace and restlessness, love and hatred, tolerance and anger and between worldliness and spirituality.
