Switching Identities: A Quest for Self-Exploration in Mukherjee’s ‘Jasmine’

Abstract | Bharati Mukherjee asserts that immigration has a variety of effects, and she achieves this by emphasizing the generally acknowledged importance of the destination nation. The country and the immigrant establish a bond, allowing the latter to advance as a result of the former rather than being just disrupted or altered by it. The country is transformed as a result of interaction with the outside world, and then it is revived. As a recent arrival from a foreign culture, the notable immigrant clashes with American society and highlights inconsistencies in both its past and present. She views immigration as a two-way process in which locals and newcomers combine and develop via the exchange of cultures. Bharati Mukherjee's 1990 book Jasmine is a book about embracing different cultures. The Indian widow makes a successful endeavour to change her fate and find happiness in the story. The issue of the experience of arriving in a foreign country was addressed delicately by Bharati Mukherjee as well. In the book, an Indian immigrant named Jasmine experiences the new world and gradually changes as she immerses herself in new culture. In contrast to the fiction, Bharati Mukherjee more or less presented culture and modernism. Jyoti, later incarnated as Jasmine, is a traditionalist who loves to dominate women and is particularly nasty to those that resemble her. On the other side, Americans view America as a place of freedom, opportunity, and fulfilment. Each effort is rewarded in this place and where the foundation of the relationship between the male and the woman is one of equality. |
