Ms. G. Akilandeswari, Dr. K. Sundararajan

Abstract


Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni’s writing assures that diaspora is not merely a scattering or dispersion, but a collective experience and journeys. It determines through the traveling experience of the men and women, where, how and under what circumstances they are traveling. Divakaruni’s protagonists attach to their newfound world. Even though the female characters are firmly developed in tradition, find it difficult to break the bounds set by patriarchy, they want to experience what is prohibited in their life, and resolve the psychological conflict that is accompanied with the new situation. She expressed very obviously the dilemmas of Indian women in conventional society. Her woman characters represent the sentiments of women and motherhood within traditional bounds and outside traditional bounds. This research paper exemplifies the concerns of women, motherhood, and their familial relationship in Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni’s novels.


Keywords
