Abstract:

Bharati Mukherjee is one of the most well known immigrant writers of America. Immigration is an amalgamated journey experience of oneself to another country. Migration separates one from their mother land towards an alien land, where it is marked by new culture and new adjustments. Bharathi Mukherjee’s novel wife portrays an immigrant looking back to her mother country with pain and nostalgia. Bharathi Mukherjee had beautifully carved the shapes of the characters that even a normal reader feels the presence of their tribulations as the personal grievances. The present article focuses on the trials and tribulations experienced by the Indian woman migrating to alien lands after her marriage. Dimple, the female protagonist of Bharati Mukherjee’s Wife, faces the problem of loss of culture and the quest for a new identity in the US.

Abstract:

The precedence of women over men in Bharati Mukherjee’s works reflects an attempt on her part to construct a feminine narrative as a means of countering the marginalized position that women usually occupy in mainstream traditional literature. This paper probes how with such displacement of female perspectives into an authoritative position, routinely prescribed for men, Mukherjee revises the suspiciously stable place occupied by male immigrant subjects in fictional writings. Employing the critical voices of several masculinity theorists, this paper explores how immigrant men’s conceptions of masculinity are reformulated and challenged by their migration processes. Seen in the light of gender oppression, the male characters, seem to occupy an ineffective and feminine narrative space even in powerful male stories of immigrant economic success written by Mukherjee. Finally, the paper probes how Mukherjee’s act of rewriting masculinity from inventive perspectives in her fictions introduces new, more egalitarian, and alternate models of manhood.

Abstract:

The object of this study is to explore the relationship between 'home' and the decline of ethnic identity in the female characters of Bharati Mukherjee's collection of short stories Darkness (1985). This paper argues that while it is generally accepted that diaspora entails a questioning of a sense of belonging (Kennedy, 2014: 12), for Bharati Mukherjee, "the price that the immigrant willingly pays, and that the exile avoids, is the trauma of self-transformation" ("Two ways to belong in America", 1996). This article seeks to contextualize the Indian diaspora in its roots and routes, proving an inextricable link with gendering of the concept of 'home' in Bhattacharjee (1996). The introduction is underpinned by a theoretical framework on diaspora namely South Asian female migrants in the United States, and an analysis of the Indian concept of nation, from which the literary assessment departs.

Abstract:

The study is an attempt to discuss Bharati Mukherjee’s social identity in a remarkable work of diasporic Indian literature, Days and Nights in Calcutta, based on Henri Tajfel’s theory. Days and Nights in Calcutta is classified as one of the most prominent works in diaspora literature. It is a shared work of Bharati Mukherjee and her Canadian husband, Clark Blaise, in which they record their daily life for fourteen months in India. While reading the text, it is easy for the reader to capture the two opposite perspectives, the Western and Eastern. The Western attitude is represented in Clark Blaise’s section, in which he conveys his own experience in India by describing the streets, hotels etc. He reflects the Western eye of Indian culture by drawing the contradictions of the Indian culture with the Western one. The Eastern lens is presented in Mukherjee’s section when she narrates her leaving India when she was a little girl to Europe and her return after a long absence to her homeland. In her narration, she seeks reconciliation and reunion again with her origin. She suffers the culture clashes and racial discrimination for most of her life. Her identity is torn between the Eastern and Western cultures. European culture treated her as an Indian due to her skin colour, while in India, she is Western due to her looks. Thus, the study attempts to discuss Mukherjee’s social identity in the light of social psychology and to examine whether the writer can adopt a new culture to get a reunion after a long absence. Moreover, it also focuses on the transformative experiences of Mukherjee, which she acquires while abroad, such as racial discrimination in alien cultures due to her race, culture, and origin, leading to discrimination against her people in the homeland

Abstract:

Abstract The article continues my former analysis of “Social Identity in Bharati Mukherjee’s Jasmine”, focusing on new aspects related to the characters’ multiple identities and how different factors (religion, race and ethnicity, customs and beliefs) shape these identities. It highlights Mukherjee’s deviation from postcolonial and diasporic literature. In fashioning new identities, unlike the postcolonial lament for lost origins, Mukherjee argues for the optimism of the immigrant experience, in which the characters are both victims and survivors. Immigration, in her view, unfetters positive energies in the process of transformation. This positive attitude makes her characters oscillate between names and social identities, which seems to be the only way of entering and adapting to this new and unfamiliar world. ‘Home’ becomes a fluid notion, which is negotiated by her characters, a possibility you can define wherever you can feel at home. Binary –old and new- customs, traditions, and beliefs co-exist and negotiate the characters’ cultural conflicts in a flexible manner.

Abstract:

This paper is an attempt to analyse the transcultural elements in the novels The Tiger’s Daughter and Wife written by Bharati Mukherjee, an Indian diasporic writer. Mukherjee’s writings reflect her own life as an immigrant, as she writes about the pain of adjusting to a completely alien land with its own culture and beliefs. Through her stories, the readers are able to catch a glimpse of the immigrant life, and their conflict between location and culture. An attempt is made to explore the concept of transculturalism in her novels by tracing the respective journeys of the protagonists, Tara and Dimple, with the help of Homi Bhabha’s concepts of mimicry, third space and hybridity.

Abstract:

This essay constitutes an attempt at reading Bharati Mukherjee’s 2011 novel, Miss New India, through the prism of spatial locations depicted in it. Unlike many of the texts in the late South Asian American author’s oeuvre, which depict migration from the East to the West, Miss New India is located exclusively within South Asia. This notwithstanding, the novel focuses on the impact the West used to and continues to exert on the East. I would like to argue that through her depictions of places and non-places of Bangalore-the novel’s primary location-Mukherjee points to the spatial interconnectedness of the East and the West as well as to the temporal interconnectedness of the colonial past and postcolonial, late-capitalist present.

Abstract:

Bharati Mukherjee happens to be a prominent Asian American writer who has in her works vividly represented the experiences of Asian immigrants and the evolution of their migrant selves in America.Her works reflect both, her pride in her Indian heritage and also her earnestness for embracing the new world, America. Mukherjee’s much acclaimed novel Jasmine depicts the story of a young Punjabi woman who dares to rebel against the norms of patriarchy since her childhood. Her stifling experiences of leading the life of a widow in a small Indian village of Hasnapur doesn’t dent her spirit as she dares to sail on her own as an illegal immigrant to the United States on a mission to perform ritual Sati on the campus where her dead husband had enrolled to study. The problems of acculturation drags immigrants like her into an identity crisis. But it does not deter her, as she continuously strives to refashion herself to fit into the mainstream American culture. In this context, the paper attempts to explore how the feminist protagonist, Jasmine, through her shifting identities rediscovers her own independent self by assimilating into the land of opportunity, i.e., America.

Abstract:

harati Mukherjee’s novel, Jasmine, discusses gender discrimination and Jasmine’s docile integration into a new culture. Mukherjee expresses the unpleasant realities of the immigrant diaspora, such as identity breakdown, homelessness, and displacement. In Indian patriarchal culture, where males are the narrators and voices are heard, women are blamed for a variety of traditions and rituals. The complicated social structure controlled by Indian patriarchal society, which may also be a significant driver of her economic well-being and therefore affect identity development, is one facet of the protagonist’s experiences. This limits the protagonist’s ability to express herself freely. Jasmine, the protagonist, challenges the concept of gender and reinvents her life to become more American by attempting to adopt a new identity in America. As Jasmine embarks on a voyage of self-discovery, each change in her personality is accompanied by a new moniker that a male character gives her. This article contends that Jasmine, the primary character, depicts a strong immigrant woman who battles marginalization in India and by mainstream white American culture and is compelled to move between identities. She bravely and tenaciously searches for a new self and identity in America until she discovers a way of living that fulfils her.

Abstract:

The migration of human beings into the various countries of the world, has been in the search of betterment of chances for their literary as well as the social contributions in the present era of the diasporic world for the second and the third generation of migrants communities. It has been a journey for establishing a new identity of self-actualization of any individuality in the context of Diaspora. The term self-actualization is coined and developed as the psychological term by Abraham Maslow to describe the growth of an individual towards the fulfillment of their highest social as well as the emotional requirements. Bharati Mukherjee and Jhumpa Lahiri are the Indian Diasporic writers of novels as well as short stories, who write about the problems of Indian Immigrants, especially with the perspectives of feminine immigrant sensibilities. Very skillfully, both of them portray the struggle of Indian women for self- actualization and establishing new identity of Indianness with the self-fascination of foreignness through their novels as well as short stories. Their feminine characters are the representations of contemporary women who strive to live their life on their owns with the portrayal of full potential and capabilities and become an individual, they want to be. Most of their writings seem autobiographical to the extent that they reflect the diasporic experiences of the migrants as they writers are. This paper aims to bring out the journey of the migration to self-actualization of the some portrayals of Bharati Mukherjee and Jhumpa Lahiri in their works, Jasmine and The Lowlands, respectively that leads them to fluid identities of a diasporic life. Jyoti, the protagonist of Jasmine, is an Indian Immigrant who faces the problems of acculturation and alienation in the United States of America while the self actualization of Gauri in The Lowland seems to be destroyed in the hands of destiny in self-fascination of the diasporic lowlands. Both of these protagonists try to assimilate themselves into the foreign country as well as culture but Jasmine of Mukherjee seems to gain an independent identity towards the end of the novel while Gauri seems to be erased her Indian identity of motherhood in the self-fascination of Americanization. The readers can find in Mukherje and Lahiri, very successful presentation of the predicaments of The Third World women with all their frustrations, longings, hopes and aspirations in an alien land of migration.

This paper delves into the intricate exploration of cultural tapestry and female narratives by analysing how identity crisis is portrayed in That Long Silence by Shashi Deshpande and Desirable Daughters by Bharati Mukherjee. Both novels provide deep insights into the challenges faced by the characters as they negotiate their gender roles and cultural heritage in the face of opposing cultural backgrounds. Deshpande and Mukherjee give a comprehensive representation of the problems encountered by women in contemporary Indian culture as well as in foreign lands by deftly combining themes of tradition, modernism, and female autonomy. This research aims to contribute to a better understanding of the changing dynamics of gender and cultural identity in modern literature by analysing these literary works in comparison.

Abstract:

This paper is a scenic description of Northeast India. It tries to bring out the elements of violence, rootlessness and identity crisis of the immigrants. Bharati Mukherjee has vibrantly portrayed the tensions, psyche and topsy-turvy condition of her characters going through the intense state which people of North East India face. Northeast India has had a long history of indigenous violence, fanaticism and uprising. The anxiety and existential crisis due to botched political affairs in the Northeast region of India necessities the urgency of preservation of their identity. Above all, excess immigration made the tribal communities face social exclusion, leading to extremist organisations challenging the sovereignty and integrity of the Indian State. The origins of insurgency in Northeast India are implanted in its geographical, historical and a host of socio-economic factors leading to changes in the environment of the area.

Abstract:

Bharati Mukherjee was a Calcutta born an Indian American Canadian writer and professor emeriti at the University of California, Berkely. She is one of the promninent and leading Indian women writers in English. Like Kamala Markandaya, Jhumpa Lahiri and Kiran Desai, she is well recognised as a diasporic novelist in the literary arena. She is a representative novelist of Asian immigrants. Her experience as an expatriate in America and Canada forms the main source of her creative writing and literary talents. Her oeuvre comprises novels, short stories, nonfiction prose, socio-political commentaries, journal articles and interviews. The present novel’s title, the character, Jasmine, continually sheds lives to move into other roles. She gets uprooted and re-routed thrice in a new world and establishes a new identity. Jasmine dislocates from Indian traditional conventional life and relocates with modern liberal American life. She is an innocent, diffident woman who has become a fighter, adapter and adventurous in America. Through her novel, Bharati Mukherjee presents Jasmine as a Phoenix who rises from her ashes again and again in the form of different names and characters. She clearly exhibits the life of an Immigrant Indian as well as woman and the obstacles. She needs to break for the transformation of her life in an alien land. The major theme is about Jasmine's love story and the minor one is about her struggle in life. This paper analyses the existential experience of Jasmine in the foreign culture.

Abstract:

o artigo começa por ressaltar a invisibilidade do colonizado nas literaturas coloniais, espetacularmenteilustrada por alguns contos de Kipling, entre os quais, "Wayside Comedy" e "Just a Subaltern ". Examina, a seguir, a visibilidade do Outro na literatura recente, especialmente aforma pela qual o sujeito pós-colonial se projeta naficção pós-colonial. Nos contos da escritora indiana Bharati Mukherjee, residente nos Estados Unidos, isso acontece de forma particularmente interessante, no tom paródico caro à ficção pós-moderna. A velha relação especular entre o Mesmo e o Outro pode persistir, embora a nova visibilidade do oprimido resulte numa interpretação grotesca tanto do sujeito quanto do objeto da relação neo-colonial. Por outro lado, a representação das relações entre imigrantes e a cultura hegemônica nos Estados Unidos é freqüentemente problematizada e relativizada. Os corolários dessas idéias são desenvolvidos e ilustrados em relação aos contos de Mukherjee "The Tenant" e "Orbiting ", que integram a coleção The Middleman and Other Stories.

Abstract:

o artigo começa por ressaltar a invisibilidade do colonizado nas literaturas coloniais, espetacularmente<br />ilustrada por alguns contos de Kipling, entre os quais, "Wayside Comedy" e "Just a Subaltern ". Examina, a seguir, a visibilidade do Outro na literatura recente, especialmente aforma pela qual o sujeito pós-colonial se projeta naficção pós-colonial. Nos contos da escritora indiana Bharati Mukherjee, residente nos Estados Unidos, isso acontece de forma particularmente interessante, no tom paródico caro à ficção pós-moderna. A velha relação especular entre o Mesmo e o Outro pode persistir, embora a nova visibilidade do oprimido resulte numa interpretação grotesca tanto do sujeito quanto do objeto da relação neo-colonial. Por outro lado, a representação das relações entre imigrantes e a cultura hegemônica nos Estados Unidos é freqüentemente problematizada e relativizada. Os corolários dessas idéias são desenvolvidos e ilustrados em relação aos contos de Mukherjee "The Tenant" e "Orbiting ", que integram a coleção The Middleman and Other Stories.

Abstract:

Historically, the United States has always been a country of immigration. Yet, in light of recent political events, a form of nativism and sedentarism is re-emerging that seeks to preserve what is generally perceived as essentially American: an ethnically white and male identity that has its origins in the foundational myths of the pastoral, the frontier, and the West. The American Midwest is where the allegedly “real” America lies: it is what Anthony D. Smith has termed an 2ethnoscape”: a landscape imbued with historical and cultural meaning that has come to represent true “Americanness”. In her 1989 novel Jasmine, Bharati Mukherjee uses the figure of Jasmine, an undocumented female immigrant from India, to disrupt this traditional trope of “the West” as the perceived location of American cultural identity. She liberates the land from its national, historical, and ethnic inscriptions by subverting the very foundational myths of the pastoral, the frontier, manifest destiny, virgin land, and the melting-pot, that are so crucial to the justification of this exclusive as well as exclusionary identity… This article analyzes the processes and mechanisms through which Mukherjee liberates the landscape: Firstly, she satirizes the ideal of the American pastoral and exposes the assumption of a stable, uniquely American landscape as purely imaginative. She then subverts the notion of the global city as the ideal location of immigrants, where “the other” can be safely contained outside the homeland and instead makes the Midwest ethnoscape the space where her protagonist uproots American national identity. Through her presence in the American heartland, Jasmine disturbs and challenges naturalized notions of America and constructs a new homeland that is open for all immigrants following her. Mukherjee thus shifts the perspective away from seeing the American homeland as a pre-existing place in need of defense, and proposes a fluid understanding of home that has acquired new relevance in light of recent political events.

Abstract:

The literature of the Indian diaspora constitutes an important part of the burgeoning field of anglophone postcolonial literature. Some of the better-known authors in this archive include V.S. Naipaul, Salman Rushdie, Rohinton Mistry, Bharati Mukherjee, Amitav Ghosh, Jhumpa Lahiri, Anita Desai, M.G. Vassanji, Shyam Selvadurai, and Kiran Desai. The growing international visibility of these authors has gone hand in hand with the popularity of postcolonial criticism and theory in academe. Vijay Mishra’s scholarly work on Bollywood cinema, Indian devotional poetry, Indian diasporic literature, and postcolonial theory and criticism has contributed greatly to our understanding of this important area of writing.

Abstract:

Bharathi Mukherjee is a diasporic writer. Most of her novels focus on assimilation as well as encounter with the East and the West. The Tree Bride also goes in the same line of thought through an amalgamation of historical portrayal which represents the East whereas the colonial narration highlights the West. A per contra account, the article departs from this wider theme and attempts to explore from the perspective of ecological narration. It depicts the picture of the exploitation of nature for the sake of the greed of human beings. To this end, the article attempts to spotlight on the anthropocentric attitude towards nature through a few aspects such as the advancement in science and technology–in the form of bombs–leads to self-destruction, the colonial attitude, and the climate change because of the onslaught on nature which leads to ecological degradation. These are the theoretical underpinnings to analyse the novel.

Abstract:

Today, Indian English Fiction is a significant part of the global literary canon, and female Indian novelists have earned international recognition on par with their male contemporaries. They added a fresh perspective to Indian writing. Ruth Prawar Jhabwala, Kamala Markandaya, Santa Rama Rau, Anita Desai, Shashi Deshpande, Shobha De, Bharati Mukherjee, Arundhati Roy, Gita Hariharan, Namita Gokhale, Anita Nair, Manju Kapoor, and many more are only few of the prominent Indian women authors. The items in this list are not all there are. Amulya Malladi is a brand-new, formidable figure in modern Indian English fiction. Borders, migration, 'illegal' immigration, repatriation, exile, refugees, assimilation, multiculturalism, and hybridity are only some of the topics and discourses that her works explore.

Abstract:

Gender is a relative, fluid and dynamic phenomenon. In a traditional society woman has always been treated as “other” which needs to be changed. Human beings unconsciously remain engaged to absorb notions of gender-based manhood and womanhood. Gender construction is not static but changes with circumstances. Women who live in different environment face different problems and whole pattern of their lives changes when they change their living conditions and social set up. Gender is basically an aggregate of cultural and sociological traits which are associated with a particular being and leads to marginalization of one gender namely women. A particular behaviour is expected from that gender and vice versa. This concept is visible in the novel ‘Desirable Daughters’ by Bharati Mukherjee which is primary text for current research. The characters in this novel violate traditional limitations and gender role becomes a fluid and relative concept. So, this work focuses on highlighting that gender role is a relative term primarily a product of environment. The theoretical framework used here is third wave of feminism and the methodology employed to conduct this research is textual analysis.
