Perspective Study of Rootlessness and Diasporic: Rootlessness but Green Are the Bouleard Trees by Uma Parameswaran

Abstract

The term "Diaspora" refers to the relocation of a community from one province to another. Diaspora maintains a strong sense of motherland through cultural practises and lifestyles. Diaspora is legitimate since displacement has no proxy. Common diasporic literature describes how some Indian emigrants prioritised economic unification over cultural unity and how others mingled with host country culture after acclimatisation.In her unique fiction, Uma Parameswaran seeks to understand diasporic sensibilities. This article depicts diasporic rootslessness, estrangement, and assimilation. The expatriates must thrive in the host country while having different roots. They must defend the land and their beliefs as renters. The boulevard tree provides the same idea of success wherever you dwell. Though it lacks space to grow, it thrives and feeds anyplace. Despite their diasporic perspective, immigrant settlers aim to integrate into the host country. Many Indians migrate abroad and confront diasporic issues. Most people discuss their immigrant experience. Few express through words and art. The imaginative writing of Uma Parameswaran made her stand out in literature. Born in Chennai, she grew up in Jabalpur and Nagpur. Later, she emigrated to Canada. Rootless yet Green are the Boulevard Trees (1998) reflects her immigrant experience. This play depicts emigrants' struggles in their host country. Play characters are divided into two groups. One group wants to migrate. The second group is mixing with the host country's natives. This dissertation examines Uma Parameswaran's Rootless but Green Boulevard Trees' portrayal of diaspora.
