| Summary: | This paper examines how the problem of culturalhybridity in the Indian context is explored by the Parsi andAnglo-Indian English novelists of the 1980s. It is found that inthe absence of dialogue, understanding and acceptance of crosscultural differences, conflicts and disharmony prevail for theminorities, both in India and abroad, where they are in diaspora.Holding a mirror up to their unique communities, these writersenter into a dialogue with the readers too, inspiring them torevise some of the long-held notions about these people whowere hitherto seen as the 'other' and call for their integration intomainstream society, while retaining their special flavour. |
