| Abstract: |
The present article tries to find out the impact of cross-cultural conflicts, trauma, identity crisis rootlessness, alienation, and marginalization, especially on Aashima Ganguly, in Jhumpa Lahiri’s The Namesake, who finds herself divided between her homeland in Calcutta and the hostland America. The internal conflict she bears satiate their emotional and psychological needs are very painful. ’The Namesake”, Lahiri ’s debut novel is a social document of a perplexing bicultural universe that analyses the values and norms of both the New World and the Old with kind of double consciousness. In Americas multicultural matrix her Indian protagonist of Bengali origin,Ashima Ganguli is the victim of the contamination of inter –civilizational alliance and multiculturalism.She with her husband makes occasional visits to India to enhance their cultural identity;and to maintain a fine balance , trying hard for emancipation from their dislocation , displacement and disorientation.
Living a separate life from the American culture,this paper focuses on the crucial, painstricken experience of alienation ,of being stranger in a foreign land, of Indian women immigrants through Ashima Ganguli ,the true representative of Indian women who have a lot of love and reverence for the rich cultural heritage for their native land India and who unwillingly changed or adapted to the culture of the host country and sacrificed their comfortable life. The present paper focuses on the Bengaliness present in The Namesake of Jhumpa Lahiri.
