Quest for Identity and Difficulties of Cultural Assimilation in Bharati Mukherjee's Desirable Daughters

Country | India |
Abstract | The emergence of diasporic literature has led to various interpretations by scholars and critics. All of the criticism of the diaspora and its vast literature revolve around issues of alienation and assimilation. The diaspora expelled from their country of origin suffers from a loss of identity as a result of the loss of culture in the past. They are forced to face the dilemma of choosing between living in permanent exile or accepting the culture of the new country through assimilation. Bharati Mukherjee's novel "Desirable Daughters" explores the struggles of Indian diaspora women in navigating their identities and cultural integration, highlighting the challenges of family loyalty and societal expectations. The novel depicts the transformation and reinvention of immigrants and exiles in American society, shedding light on the patriarchal norms and restrictions faced by women in both Indian and Western cultures. Mukherjee’s portrayal of characters like Tara, Padma, and Parvati reflects the complexities of gender roles and the quest for individual freedom within traditional and modern societies |
