Abstract
The Indian writer Aravind Adiga, in his novel Amnesty, narrates the dreams and identity crises faced by migrants and displaced people through the life of migrant Danny. This work tells the story of a Sri Lankan who is forced by circumstances to become an “ Illegal alien” after being a drop out from his “ripoff” college in Australia. Danny settles on cleaning and maintaining the sanitation in apartments in the suburbs of Sydney. The twist in the plot and the question of the immigrant’s dreams being a success arise when Radha Thomas, a client of Danny, is murdered. Danny is aware of the murderer, who is another of his clients, Dr. Prakash. Danny is overwhelmed and ponders the dilemma of whether to inform the police and risk being deported or to remain silent. This ambiguous state of the migrant is analyzed in this paper.
