Migration and dispersions have been continuing since ancient times in humans. As we know that, the Indian diaspora is one of the largest in the world. It is believed that If you want to know the tradition or culture of some nation, you should follow their literature. Diaspora literature depicts the lives of migrants and the uncertainty that surrounds and fills them in foreign lands, and the struggles they face to find their identity. They are placed in a complex space between many worlds and cultures: they can neither forget their native land from which they came, and it would be different if they returned to it now; nor can they fully assimilate into the host land they have adopted. There are many various types of identity such as, gender identity, ethnic identity, communal identity, national identity and so on. When people migrate from their native land to abroad, he does not migrate alone but he carries with him his national identity and ethnic identity as well; these identities lives with him until his death. This research paper explores the Indianness in the writings of Indo-Canadian contemporary diasporic women writers, such as Anubha Mehta, Uma Parmesvaran and Anita Rao Badami and Shauna Singh Baldwin. These writers artistically describe Indian culture, nostalgic feelings, and their experiences through their works.
