Abstract: Post colonialism and Identity Crisis: A Study on Jhumpa Lahiri’s “Mrs. Sen’s” and “The Third and Final Continent” Modanmohan Dev Nath Assistant Professor Department of English Girls’ College, Kokrajhar Ph. No-8486292697 Email- modanmohan1975@gmail.com Abstract: The positive impact of post colonialism is the cultural mix of the major character with the colonizer creates a new culture and arise a question of diasporic identity. This paper will explore the theme of identity crisis in Jhumpa Lahiri’s short stories, “Mrs Sen’s” and “Third and final Continent”. With the advent of globalization the movement of people from one place to another becomes prominent, results a large number of migrations. It creates syncretism in regard of identity. Jhumpa Lahiri is one of the renowned writers who have been documenting Indian diasporic experience. Being an Indian American herself, she addresses the state of immigrants through her stories. Her stories deal with the condition of Indian origins that have migrated to foreign land and lack a sense of belongingness. The idea of home, in this sense, becomes a mythic one where there is no possibility of returning back despite revisiting homeland. In the story “Mrs. Sen’s” and “Third and Final Continent”, as a consequence of migration, the characters are found in a state of evolving process of identifying self through assimilation and rejection of culture. After leaving their homeland, some try to negotiate with the new culture where some resist to it. In the process, there is a constant flux in their identity creating a new in between space for them, a space which neither abandon the original identity, historical experience, memories nor accept the new found identity completely. For the purpose of the study, the concept of identity crisis is taken into account through theoretical lens of hybridity, liminality proposed by Homi K Bhaba.
Keywords: Keywords: migration, identity crisis, diaspora, culture, hybridity.
