Bharati Mukherjee is an Indian-born writer. Her fictitious prose narratives characterize principally Indian women as central characters. Her books deal with concerns of application for numerous migrant women in the present day—in expressions of sexual category identification, equal opportunity, and assimilation. The aim of this paper is to evaluate Mukherjee’s The Tiger’s Daughter for commitment with the diversity of dilemmas that women are confronted with today; centering particularly on concerns of diaspora, the article will investigate the means in which the work of fiction deals with the hurting of emigration, estrangement and separation, which being an essential component of the immigrant woman’s incidents. Their importance is how each portrays the potential for alteration through the Indian woman’s diasporic understanding. I intend to discover, specifically, individuality predicament and cross-cultural inconsistency in the transformative occurrences of the female personality represented in Mukherjee’s The Tiger’s Daughter. The narrative discloses the tale of Tara Banerjee who is exposed to cultural shock, isolation and lack of recognition from both her indigenous land and America. Tara’s passage all through the story satirically demonstrates annoying gradually culminating to her deprivation of individuality, false impression, and hopelessness and ultimately her destroyed self. Using this novel, I will discover the consequences of the great effort of diasporic people accept the option between ‘home’ and the embraced nation of their preference and the cultural predicaments which occur from deciding to put together these options.
