    Abstract

    The term diaspora refers to the movement of a group of people to new lands for settlement.

    Many people suffer from identity disputes due to their presence in new regions, including

    Indian immigrants. In her works, Jhumpa Lahiri one of the most famous Indian American

    authors, portrays the Bengali immigrant experience, which contains both the concept of

    being uprooted from one's homeland and the meaning of seeking a place in the host

    country. The current paper focuses on Lahiri's novel 'The Lowland' and reflects upon the

    dilemmas and conflicts that come with being part of diaspora.
