Abstract

This article intends to examine the plight of the second generation of British South Asian diasporic individuals as depicted by the two female writers Ravinder Randhawa and Meera Syal. These writers have themselves undergone various tormenting experiences as being diasporic individuals from South East Asian ancestry and their experiences are duly reflected in their writings. In these novels we find that how the diasporic individuals are torn between different identities—on the one hand, they cannot completely relinquish their longing for an imaginary homeland whereas on the other, they have to devise new coping strategies to survive in the diasporic scenario. So, these two exemplary texts examine the trials and tribulations of these British Asian writers throughout their epic endeavour to find a proper diasporic double-space for themselves.
