DAISPORIC WRITING IN SUNITI NAMJOSHIJI'S SELECTED WORKS

Suniti Namjoshi is a creative writer and a rising star on the horizon of Indian English fiction. She is one of the "new" Indian women authors in English from Maharashtra. She has been active in the literary world for almost fifty years. She has created fables and dystopias, novels and short stories, fantasies, satire with a feminist bent, and practically every genre except drama and epic, both solo and collaboratively. She has travelled all over the world to investigate the cultural foregrounding of various countries and has written feminist and Diasporic cultural narratives. Suniti Namjoshi, like Jhumpa Lahiri, Kiran Desai, Kavita Dasvani, Anjanna Appachana, Sunetra Gupta, and Anita Rau Badami, is a major Indian Diaspora writer in the current literary world. Only the cultural Cartographyin Diasporic of her novel has been studied by the researcher. Her fables, short stories, and novels such as “Feminist Fables (1981), The Conversation of Cow(1985), The Blue Donkey Fables(1988) etc” have all been included in the proposed research project. In addition, the researcher has looked at the various cultural influences that have an impact on her fiction, which is a complex mix of Eastern and Western ideas. The purpose of this study is to conduct a modest and cohesive examination of Suniti Namjoshi's literature in order to improve readers' comprehension of her as a notable Indian Diaspora writer. She also studies power politics, sexual politics, women's marginalisation, and the search for identity. She champions lesbian identity and feminist awareness. Her national and international reputation need more investigation.
