About the Book: Critical Essays on Indian Diaspora is a collection of twenty-seven well-crafted scholarly articles, contributed by great academicians and erudite scholars. They ostensibly focus on the themes of immigration, relocation, nostalgia, cultural-clash, identity, alienation and other diasporic issues. The advent of twenty first century and the great influence of globalization have brought in an upheaval change in the attitudes of the Indian Diasporic writers. This change has resulted in their enriching and expanding the horizon of Indian fiction through the realistic portrayal of diasporic subjects as well as their compromises on an alien land. Through this book, an attempt has been made not only to probe into the new explorations of diasporic writings but also to analyze those works from several critical perspectives. Thus, the book is unique in itself that purports to rethink the mind and body dichotomy in some select Indian Diasporic fictions.
