The Cultural Shift of Global to Local in The Hero’s Walk and from Local to Global in Tell it to the Trees by Anita Rau Badami

English

Globalisation has erased the physical boundaries and made co-existence of different cultures possible. This co-existence of cultures actually means co-existence of two or more individual belonging different cultures is living in the same region. When two individual of different cultures come together, they bring to the table their own cultural identities which have been rooted in them traditionally. These ideologies, behaviours, manners, rituals, thoughts etc then get fused with one another and create a confluence. The present paper will examine the select fiction by Anita Rau Badami, an Indian migrant to Canada. Badami has ardently woven two cultures in her novels. Expounding The Hero’s Walk and Tell it to the Trees by Anita Rau Badami with the elements of multiculturalism in it and how she connects global with local and vice versa will lead towards the conclusion of how Indo Canadian Literature represents the multiplicity of cultures.
