Abstract

One of the serious impacts of the postcolonialism is dispersion or Diaspora. Many of the people being influenced by Western ideologies migrated to various parts of the world.  Migration directly influenced the culture of new societies and settlers were also influenced by it. Migration not only transformed their culture but also influenced the older left ones. Mukherjee’s maiden novel The Tiger’s Daughter is an attempt to dig her own identity in her Indian heritage. The Tiger’s Daughter comes out in the infant stage of Mukherjee’s evolution as a writer. Mukherjee’s novels generally are representatives of the expatriate sensibility. This research article attempts to study the immigrant experience in Canadian land and thus show the impact of postcolonialism.
