Effect of diaspora on Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni’s character’s identity in Sister of My Heart and The Vine of Desire
Self, identities, femininities, immigrants, ethnicity.
In Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni’s work, we have women who either live abroad or happen to be visiting India. These women are no doubt conditioned by the Indian upbringing but have risen above the traditional constraints. They think more rationally, but they mentally retain some of the traditional beliefs. Chitra Banerjee focuses on the diasporic Indian women caught between two opposing worlds. In Sister of my Heart, Divakaruni, tells the moving story of two cousins, Anju and Sudha who grow up in a traditional Indian household in Calcutta. The Vine of Desire is sequel novel of Sister of My Heart. The Vine of Desire brings them together. In Banerjee’s novel women face identity crisis, ethnicity problems and migration. In the novel Sister of My Heart and The Vine of Desire, the main protagonists face setbacks and struggle hard to survive on new land but the author has cleverly bought Sudha and Anju out of the failure and made them fly independently.
