Diasporic elements in kamala markandaya's the nowhere man Dr. Kumari Reman* *Email id: jaibir_kuk@rediffmail.com
Online published on 4 March, 2019. Abstract The aim of this paper is to show the Diasporic elements through the novel The Nowhere Man, written by Kamala Markandaya. In this novel Kamala delved insightfully into Diasporic issues and problems of immigrants. The immigrants in the Diasporic society lose their identity and are tortured and insulted by host society that is beautifully described through the life of Sriniwvas the protagonist of the novel. It shows how social prejudice against Indian in England of 1960s alienates the character and aggravates their sense of displacement. My aim is to show mental condition of immigrants who live in dilemma as they can neither accept the host country as homeland nor return to their own country. They are in search of identity in another land. It depicts Diasporic issues on the emotional, cultural, political and economic level. It also shows how the immigrants preserve their native culture and how nostalgia help to be connected with their homeland, which is beautifully described through the life of Vasantha, Srinivas' wife. Markandaya has portrayed experiences of Indian Diaspora, such as problems of adjustment, discrimination, identity crisis, hyberdity, and alienation in this novel. Top Keywords Diasporic, Immigrants, Aggravate, Discrimination, Alienation. Top | |
