JhumpaLahiri mainly deals with the ordinary life of immigrants settled abroad. Her novel The Namesake speaks about the relationship and rituals of family and country in a simple yet elegant and profoundly controlled manner.It also deals with the issues of cultural and racial - discrimination and the problems of inter-racial relationship. The story of the novel is woven around an immigrant Indian Bengali family living in United States of America. The attempt of Ashoke and Ashima Ganguli to adjust in the new ambiance and the feeling of frustration and displacement experienced by their son Gogol forms the theme of the novel.JhumpaLahiri shows that though diasporas struggle to conserve their customs and ethnicity, yet they gradually imbibe the social and cultural way of life of the host country.
