Abstract

A major component of colonialism was the diaspora, since millions of people regularly migrated to developed countries in quest of better prospects abroad. Novels by diasporic authors frequently deal with themes of self-discovery, alienation, loneliness, and transformation. It can be upsetting whether you leave your home country voluntarily or are compelled to. Diasporic authors are excellent at depicting the mental and physical anguish that their characters experience upon moving. Despite being crowned, projected, known, and loved in their new society, diaspora members remain physically and emotionally isolated from both their homeland and the rest of the world. The majority of diasporic authors' works deal with themes of transformation; in Sunetra Gupta's novels, characters find peace by remaining in their own nation. Because their previous interactions have left them with favorable and enduring impressions, they feel ecstatic and content. The issues and experiences in her Memories of Rain and A Sin of Color are attempted to be described and assessed in this essay. An analysis of Sunetra Gupta's writings shows how the West is starting to acknowledge migratory Indians and how this diasporic Indian adapts to this changing level of acknowledgment through an ongoing process of re-creation.
