This paper attempts to explain the cross cultural conflicts of Indian immigrant Gogol Ganguli who finds him torn between the two cultures and conflict of quest for identity never ceases. Jhumpa Lahiri belongs to the second generation of Indian Diaspora, an Indian by ancestry, British by birth and American by immigration and her theme of writing deals with the experience of emigrants to USA from India makes her a centre of Diaspora. Diasporic literature is a very vast concept and an umbrella term that includes in it all those literary works written by the authors outside their native country, but these works are associated with native culture and background. The term Diaspora comes from an ancient Greek word meaning “to scatter about”. And that’s exactly what the people of a Diaspora do they scatter from their homeland to places across the globe, spreading their culture as they go. The bible refers to the Diaspora of Jews exiled from Israel by the Babylonians. But the word is now also used more generally to describe any large migration of refugees, language, or culture
