Authors

Abstract
The words like "Expatriate" and "Diaspora" need no introduction in postcolonial literary scenario. Indian diaspora, today, has emerged with the "multiplicity of histories, variety of culture tradition and a deep instinct for survival." Indian Diaspora, though counting more than 20 million members world-wide, survives in between "home of origin" and "world of adoption." The process of survival of the diasporic individual/community in between the home of origin and the "world of adoption" is the voyage undertaken in the whole process from "alienation" to final "assimilation". Bharti Mukherjee, an Indian born Canadian/American novelist, has made a deep impression on the literary canvass. Her novels, honestly, depict the issues of her own cultural location in West Bengal in India, her displacement (alienation) from her land of origin to Canada where as was "simultaneous sly invisible" as a writer and "overexposed" as a racial minority and her final re-location (assimilation) to USA as a naturalized citizen.
