One of the most prominent Indian Diaspora writers, Bharati Mukherjee often writes about the difficulties encountered by Indians who migrate to the United States. The struggles of Indian immigrants to assimilate into the ethos, culture, and people of their adopted country as well as their home country are themes that permeate her writings. She also emphasizes adaptation and character transformation in her writings. Migration and ethnic acceptance of expatriates has always been a burning issue with diaspora (Subrahmanian, 2022). Extending this hypothesis, this article analyzes the cultural and psychological denominators contributing to the protagonist, Jasmine’s diasporic agony as she is exposed to a hostile, aggressive treatment in the hands of American counterparts. The researcher using a descriptive and analytical methodology examines the emotional turbulence of Jasmine whose life is only a succession of pain and under-privileged living in a foreign land in the passage of time
