Abstract	The present paper is a serious attempt to explore Salman Rushdie's and Amitav Ghosh's concern for the subalterns, their philosophy about exile and home, and their diasporic experiences. The socio-cultural perspective has been taken to explore the various cross-currents and ethnic pluralities discussed by theses novelists under research. The interdisciplinary and comparative approach offers a new dimension to the study of the novels of, Salman Rushdie and Amitav Ghosh. Different aspects of these novelists have been explored in this dissertation through analysis and criticism. The postmodernist world has seen the emergence of interdisciplinary and cultural studies as the major thrust areas of academic exploration. As Elleke Boehmer states thus: The postcolonial and migrant novels are seen as appropriate texts for such explorations because they offer multi-voiced resistance to the idea of boundaries and present texts open to transgressive and non-authoritative reading. The field of Postcolonial Studies has been gaining prominence since the publication of Edward Said's book, Orientalism (1978). The term "postcolonial" became more popular with the appearance of The Empire Writes Back: Theory and Practice in Post-Colonial Literatures (1989) by Bill Ashcroft, Gareth Griffiths, and Helen Tiffin. Since then, the use of terms "Commonwealth" and "Third World" that were used to describe the literature of Europe's former colonies has become rarer. Although there is considerable debate over the precise parameters of the field and the definition of the term "postcolonial," in a very general sense, it is the study of the interactions between European nations and the societies they colonized in the modern period. The diasporic literature is diverse: The diasporic production of cultural meanings occurs in many areas, such as contemporary music, film, theatre and dance, but writing is one of the most interesting and strategic ways in which diaspora might disrupt the binary of local and global and problematize national, racial and ethnic formulations of identity.
