    Diasporic Consciouness in the Fictional World of Kiran Desai
    (S.S.girls College, Gondia, 2017) Dr Indira Budhe
    The Phenomenon of multi- culturalism. responsible for the production of diasporic writing .is itself an aspect of post -modernism, which proclaims multicultural and multi- ethical societies, promoting the politics of difference. In this condition, identity is no longer unitary or essential; rather , it is fluid and shifting , shaped by multiple sources and assuming multiple forms, In other words, there is no such things as women or asian. However curious it may sound, the post-modern condition typically connects the local and the global. Diasporic writing draws our attention to an important aspect of our era in which responsibilities of citizens go across national boundraries. the earlier modernist notions of centre and margin, home exile, and familiar and strange are falling apart. The boarders defined in terms of geography, culture and ethicity are being replaced ny configurations of power. community, space and time.Derived from the Greek word diaspirein, meaning to disperse, the term 'diaspora'. the term now has been extended to include other displaced populations due to slavery, colonialism, or forced migrations.
