Diasporic Discernment In Amitav Ghosh’s The Circle Of Reason

Abstract

India has generated a plethora of excellent writers who act as role models for the next generation. The authors paint a picture of Indian civilization and discuss a variety of topics, including the problems that Indians face. The diasporic study investigates the scattering of populations and cultures over diverse geographical areas and spaces. The global Indian diaspora now plays a considerable role in the host countries' socioeconomic and political spheres.Diaspora is defined by the International Organization for Migration as "members of ethnic and national communities who have left but maintain links with their homelands." The term Diaspora refers to transnational populations who live in a single location while keeping ties to their homelands. Through the characters in the novel, the research study stresses the diasporic perspective.In his debut novel The Circle of Reason(1986), Amitav Ghosh explores people's dislocation due to despair and existential rootlessness. The displaced immigrants' troubled mental state was woven throughout the novel. The novel's characters are compelled to accept cultural displacement, but migrants' situation remains problematic because they are unable to erase the memories of their home country from their minds. Through his works, Amitav Ghosh embarks on an exploration of the reasons for human beings' diasporic consciousness.
