Abstract
Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni is an acclaimed Indian American writer known for her dazzling investigation of South Asian immigrant experiences. Divakaruni is a famous diasporic writer with a refined and modern sensibility whose contribution to the diasporic fiction is great and unique. Divakaruni beautifully presents the matrix of diasporic consciousness like nostalgia, loneliness, rootlessness, alienation, cultural conflict, questioning, etc., in her novels. Her writing affirms that diaspora is not merely scattering or dispersion but a matrix of consciousness that encompasses various conflicting characteristics. Being an immigrant in USA, Divakaruni seems to capture the experiences of the Indian immigrants with all its colours. This article attempts to explore the diasporic consciousness in the work of Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni’s Sister of My Heart.
