Abstract

This paper attempts to study the diasporic elements in Manju Kapur’s the immigrant, particularly Nina, an Indian woman, who is the protagonist of this novel. she migrates to Canada after her marriage with NRI dentist Ananda, where she struggles to adapt the Canadian culture that alienates from the society. Her loneliness and emotion uprooted in entire character and, on the other hand the post-colonial ideology also plays an important role in life. Nina’s struggles, cultural identity and transformation after her migration were clearly picturized by Manju Kapur in the immigrant. In Canada, their food style, outfits, culture, and the approach for sexuality were different from Indian culture, so at first Nina struggled to adapt their culture but later she changed herself as a Canadian. This Diasporic transformation made her a strong women in the alien country and also she learned to survive alone.
