dc.description.abstractAbstract This study examines the themes of immigration and assimilation within the Indian diaspora as portrayed in Jhumpa Lahiri's novel The Namesake. Employing the frameworks of diaspora studies, postcolonialism, and multiculturalism, it explores the experiences of an Indian diaspora family navigating immigration and assimilation in America. Through a close analysis of the characters' experiences, and their struggles and achievements, the study highlights the complexities of their cultural displacement, identity formation, and the search for belonging. Drawing on diaspora studies, the analysis will explore how the Ganguli family negotiates the concept of "home" across geographical and cultural boundaries. A postcolonial lens will be used to examine how the characters grapple with the lingering effects of colonialism on their sense of identity and cultural practices. Finally, through the lens of multiculturalism, the study will explore the complexities and possibilities of navigating multiple cultures, particularly the challenges and opportunities of maintaining their heritage while integrating into American society. This examination of the concept of diaspora, alongside the insights from postcolonial and multicultural frameworks, contributes to a deeper understanding of immigration, assimilation, and cultural identity in a globalized world. Keywords: diaspora, immigration, assimilation, identity, name, belonging
