Abstract

The discourse of diaspora has gained unprecedented prominence and proliferation in the contemporary literary, cultural, political and sociological disciplines. Based on the diaspora discourse, diasporic literature has emerged as a seminal part in the corpus of world literature. The studies of diaspora now encompass multifarious disciplines like sociology, economy, geography, political science, cultural study and film study. It has also been recognized as a distinct field of academic interest in the domain of literature like post-colonial and Third World Literature.

It is generally acknowledged that the term ‘diaspora’ is originated from the Greek words: speiro= to sow, and dia= over. Hence, etymologically, it denotes dispersion, scattering and dissemination of people across the countries. In Hebrew, diaspora was termed as Golah or Galut meaning “Exile”. Earlier, the term ‘diaspora’, as it is widely known, was particularized in the history of the Jews exiles, as mentioned in the Bible. It is however unanimously conceded by scholars that the Jews diaspora is at the core of the diasporic conceptualization.
