Abstract:
Postcolonial literature often addresses the troubles and consequences of the decolonization of a country. It questions the political and cultural independence of formerly subjugated people. Nowadays, Postcolonial writers often involve in the argument of immigrants’ experiences and post colonial motifs such as migration, hybridity, ambivalence, trace and neo colonization and mimicry. This argument gives the response to the discourses of imperial Europe such as history, philosophy, anthropology, and linguistics. Jhumpa Lahiri, who is an immigrant writer describes the problems of immigrants such as relocation, homelessness, alienation and cultural changes in her novel The Namesake. This research article presents how the Lahiri’s characters struggle to adopt multiculturalism, and to become hybrid. They try their best to become mimicry person like sandwich. This paper takes some supportive incidents and characters from The Namesake which also portrays the changing mindset of immigrants’ characters such as Ashoke, Ashima, Gogol and Sonia who finally lose their home culture and host culture.
