Dislocation, Relocation and Root Search: a Study of Bharati Mukherjee’s Desir...

iosrjce

Mukherjee’s protagonists are all sensitive and are differently trained in the new ethnic imagination. They are tossed in an environment of ambivalence regarding their identity, racism, sexism and other social oppression. They negotiate displacement and face the multicultural reality in the process of cultural differentiation and assimilation. Bharati Mukherjee has explored many facets of diasporic consciousness and immigrant experience of dislocations, ruptures and relocation of the migrant women in her fictions. She has dealt with the ambivalence of their psychic and spatial identity and the trauma of dislocations at multiple levels. The impact of patriarchy on the Indian society varies from the one in the West and therefore Mukherjee has tried to evolve her own strand of feminism grounded in the truth of compulsory displacement that they recurrently undergo. Indian expatriate writers do not write from all exclusive foreignness of their identity but their writing reflects the perspective of someone caught between two cultures. Migrancy and dislocation, either consensual or conflictual, is a global and trans-cultural necessity. In her earlier novels, diasporic transmigration meant new opening and emancipation from the clutches of convention bound society. In these novels, attachment to one’s own native culture and homeland, living abroad was presented as something to be spurned and total assimilation into the host culture was hailed. It is to create a location of the presence that reduces the diasporic individual to delink the past and deconstruct the future. In Desirable Daughters Mukherjee considers different pattern of belonging in the Global perspectives from in-between temporality to assimilative permanence and further, hyphenated and unmixed nationness.
