Consciousness, culture, identity struggles, alienation

Diasporic theory, an important component of English literature describes the experience of immigrants in foreign country. Whatever the reason for migration may be social, economic, religious, political, as preachers, as exile, or a worker, or in search for better life to survive in the new land, they must adapt to new surroundings. Between their two language and two homes they must choose. This paper aims to depict the diasporic identity crisis and cultural conflict face by female protagonist in Bharati Mukherjee’s novel, Jasmine. The main protagonist Jasmine crosses many phases throughout in her journey. She faces many difficulties like identity crisis, alienation, cultural struggles. Jasmine feels the transformation of identity from Jyoti to Jasmine, Jasmine to Jazzy and Jazzy to Jase. The adjustment and assimilation undergo by the protagonist makes her question her own identity: “How many more shapes are in me? How many more salves? And how many more husband.” She grapples with her own identity and the author has portrayed it with a symbolic change in the name of her character with every new phase of her life. She overcomes the limitations of all the various phases of her life and chooses happiness and fulfilment at the end. She decides to let go of the exigencies of the past and start afresh.
