Abstract

The themes of Mistry’s novels centre on empowering patterns in a society that silences individual voices. Superstitions and mental or physical limits are also depicted in his fiction. He is more concerned in exposing the issues facing the untouchables, the underprivileged members of society, and their oppressed status. Indian-diasporic author Rohinton Mistry explores themes of immigration and self-identity crises in his works. The present paper addresses alienation as a worldwide issue with regard to English-language writing by Indian authors. The term primarily refers to English-language works written by writers who are Indian by birth, ancestry, or nationality and which evoke the essence of Indian culture, ethos, homeland, and geography. These works are populated by men who identify as Indian or of Indian descent and who reside in India or any other country in the world. Specifically, Rohinton Mistry’s Such a Long Journey is the subject of this paper.
