Abstract

Every writer is a product of his age and his writings reveal the stamp of his times. If the towering figures of Indian English fiction of the first generation like Raja Rao, Mulkraj Anand, R.K Narayan,Kamla Markandaya exposed the harsh realities of their times, the post modern Indian English writers connected and brought forward entirely new fangled set of themes which are as wide ranging and complex as the life in the age of globalization. Jumpa Lahri is not an exception in this case, Like a number of writers of her like Salman Rushdie, V.S.Naipaul, Shashi Throor, Vikram Seth, Amita Ghosh, Kiran Desai, she too engrossed herself with the emerging issues like globalization and subsequent multiculturalism, cultural clashes, post feminism, erosion of ethical values and search for identity. With the changing realities in the context of globalization and immigration, National identity and the literature too is bound to change.
