| Abstract: | Rohinton Mistry is an important member of Indian Diaspora. He was born in Mumbai but migrated and settled in his land of dreams, Canada. Although, a resident of Canada, and recognized as one of the best- selling authors of the land, Rohinton Mistry writes very little about Canada. Being a Diaspora writer his fiction reflects his own experiences of alienation and dislocation suffered as an immigrant. His fictive world is replete with India and Indians. Mumbai the city of his birth comes alive in his creative works to give some of the finest accounts in fiction. Literature and history are intimately linked with each other. Literary writers often mix historical facts with fiction to re-examine the incidents, views and assumptions of the past. Rohinton Mistry’s works present an in-depth study of the various dimensions of socio-political history of India. In his three novels under study, Such A Long Journey, A Fine Balance, and Family Matters, Rohinton Mistry has reflected his acute political consciousness. Mistry’s first novel Such A Long Journey is set in 1971 during the war between India and Pakistan. Rohinton Mistry’s second novel A Fine Balance is set during 1974-75 and captures a realistic picture of India during the state of Emergency. Mistry’s third novel Family Matters is set in mid 1990’s where he has presented the riots that rocked the city of Mumbai. The present paper is an attempt to explore the historical contexts re-narrated by the novelist and to examine the close bond between the life and literature. |
