Cataloged from PDF version of Internship report. Includes bibliographical references (page 50 - 51). In admiration of the major issue as to how the Diaspora personality of Asian community faces identity formation and development, I wish to put my thesis as continues research process where I discussed few notable writers of the Asian origin who has refined the psychological development of Diaspora identity. Through reading of their notable works, I have noticed the question of identity formation and development has gone through many steps of reformation to come to the present state. Diaspora brings to mind various assumption and images. It can be the positive site of achieving an individual identity, or, a negative site of fear and anxiety of losing one’s identity. Diaspora gets affected by various aspect of modern life such as: culture, space, time, language, histories, people and place. What makes Diaspora different than the other forms of travel, is its’ massive impact on the travelers, this kind of travelers are popularly known as migrants. Migrant people depend on the ‘others’ land but they form new communities that are a mixture of their tradition and the newly acquainted foreign culture. This formation leaves the migrant people into a dependent Limbo state and the only way they could be free from dependency is through self-realization. My work in this thesis is explaining and discussing the identity crisis of these migrant characters and how they start from a dependent Limbo situation, finally achieving the ultimate independence, free from any kind of mental or social boundaries.
