Diaspora writing occupies an important place in Post-modern literature. Indian immigrant writers contributed hugely and shaped South Asian Diaspora into a much recognised branch of literature. Indian diaspora writers Bharati Mukherjee and Jhumpa Lahiri have skillfully narrated the issues of Indian immigrants in Canada and America. Bharati Mukherjee’s The Tiger’s Daughter (1971), Wife (1975), and Jasmine (1989) and Jhumpa Lahiri’s The Lowland (2013) are examined for diasporic perspectives in the present paper. Both writers deal with the diasporic issues of expatriate sensibility, nostalgia, identity crisis, multiculturalism, and assimilation in their novels.
