This book analyses diasporic literatures written in Indian
languages written by authors living outside their homeland and
contextualize the understanding of migration and migrant
identities. Examining diasporic literature produced in Bengali,
Hindi, Malayalam, Indian Nepali, Odia, Punjabi, Marathi, and Tamil,
the book argues that writers in the diaspora who choose to write in
their vernacular languages attempt to retain their native language,
for they believe that the loss of the language would lead to the
loss of their culture. The author answers seminal questions
including: How are these writers different from mainstream Indian
writers who write in English? Themes and issues that could be
compared to or contrasted with the diasporic literatures written in
English are also explored. The book offers a significant
examination of the nature and dynamics of the multilingual Indian
society and culture, and its global readership. It is the first
book on Indian diasporic literature in Indian and transnational
languages, and a pioneering contribution to the field. The book
will be of interest to academics in the field of South Asian
Studies, South Asian literature, Asian literature, diaspora and
literary studies.
