Abstract In the late 20th century, postcolonial theory and literature rose to prominence as a way of analysing the shared struggles and experiences of people from former colonies as they navigate the post-independence world. The experience of diaspora, a recurring theme in English literature, is a crucial component of postcolonial studies. Diaspora is a type of psychological dislocation in which immigrants experience a sense of displacement, marginalisation, and loss of identity in addition to their physical movement from their country of origin to the foreign country. Some immigrants struggle with a fractured and split sense of identity because they feel ambivalently "in-betweened" and torn between the two cultures. Other immigrants, on the other hand, make an effort to fully integrate into the new culture and live as expatriates. The Tiger's Daughter, written by Bharati Mukherjee and included in the category of immigration literature, is the subject of this study. The experiences of diasporic Indian immigrants in the United States are recaptured in this book, but from different angles. It is impossible to generalise about the Indian Diaspora as a single shared experience due to the cultural diversity within and among the concerned nations as well as the variety of individual voices within the postcolonial novel.
