It exploits the difficulties of enculturation, identity and nostalgia faced by the Indian diasporic communities in Canada. Characters of Uma Parameswaran’s works depicts the struggle to defend their Indian cultural roots while adapting to the society of Canada that highlights the tension between preserving heritage and integrating into a new culture. Parameswaran’s works demonstrate the importance of cultural and traditional heritage in shaping identity, while it also acknowledges the complexities of directing multiple cultural contexts. Her works reflects the emotional and psychological impact of displacement on Indian immigrants, who often feel a deep intellect of nostalgia for their homeland and struggle to reconcile their past and present. They thought migrating to Canada will help their children choose better lifestyles but the character in the novel had to experience the chaos caused by immigration. Parameswaran’s writing examines the challenges of acculturation and assimilation faced by Indian immigrants, including the conciliation of cultural alterations and the quest for the belongingness in a new society. Parameswaran’s works has deep insight into the complexities of identity, culture and belongingness in the broad field of diaspora.
