Abstract: The Indian diaspora plays a significant part in reflecting the complications of diasporic gests in literature. It aims to examine the relegation and the nostalgia for the motherland and disaffection caused by relegation or disturbance as well as conflict between generations and artistic identity. Diasporic and immigrant women writers of Indiatend to portray the dilemmas related to the changes, the generational differences among the people and metamorphosis of their identities during relegation. The inner self of outcast and alienationsupplements the diasporic writers of immigration to seek recuperation in their writings and institutean endless place in English Diaspora literature. Being a canonized litterateur ,Meena Alexander in her work Manhattan Music manages to give a fairly credible representation of the Indian emigrant gests , yet it's within the gaps and surpluses in the narratives that her enterprises westernized assumptions allowing a postcolonial reading. Surrounded by the complex layers of the migratory and diasporic narrative, Meena Alexander navigates the focal point between social, physical and psychological points of her world. Meena Alexander not only establishes a relationship with India but makes her a tenant of the global lineage. In this way, she attempts to forge a diasporic subjectivity. The present study involves a reading of Alexander’s Manhattan Music where she redefines the indigenous women identity in distant worlds and addresses about emergent feminism serving the adaptability and agency of women in surrounds of social and cultural bouleversement.
