Diasporic Diversion In Rohinton Mistry’s A Fine Balance

Abstract

The story takes place in the urban environment of Dina Dalal's little, claustrophobic apartment amid Bombay's teeming metropolis.  An effort has been made to examine the various diversions that primarily occurred through diaspora such as residential diversion, professional diversion, political diversion and religious diversion in particular underprivileged people from the Parsi community especially in Bombay and the atrocities committed against two untouchables from a village. Mistry has used four major characters with different histories to explore various diversions in the novel A Fine Balance. .
