Arindam Ghosh, Sambhunath Maji, Dr. Birbal Saha

Abstract :

Diaspora has been the most discussed term during last three decades. Though as generic term it reminds us a different episode of uneasiness, the concept diasporic home deserves our parallel notice. The Shadow Lines and The Hungry Tide by Amitav Ghosh can be viewed as two exceptional texts, defining home from multitudinous perspectives. This research article will concentrate on the idea of diasporic home. The settlement of the refuges in the Sundarban area has complicated the issue more. Throughout this paper our vigilant eye will place Mr. Ghosh whether he has really suggested a remedy or left the whole debate in front of the readers.
