The Representation Of Immigration In Contemporary Indian Literature

Abstract

This research paper explores the multifaceted representation of immigration in contemporary Indian literature. Immigration, as a phenomenon, has significantly shaped global narratives in recent decades, and Indian literature has emerged as a poignant medium to depict its complexities. Through an analysis of select literary works, this research delves into the diverse experiences, challenges, and identities of immigrants, both within and outside India. It examines how Indian writers navigate themes of displacement, cultural assimilation, nostalgia, and identity formation within the context of immigration. Additionally, the paper investigates the socio-political implications of immigration narratives in contemporary Indian society and their contribution to broader discourses on globalization, diaspora studies, and multiculturalism.
