Diaspora has been a talked about issue over the years. It concerns how people leaving their homeland, settle in a foreign land and adapt to a new set of culture and with a whole new ambiance despite facing all sorts of predicaments- it is all about how the Diaspora people get self-conscious and alienated while living in a foreign land where they feel insecure, intense identity crises and other problems. Diaspora people suffer the identity crisis at an initial stage, but slowly and surely regain the feeling of self-confidence as they eventually settle down in what was once an alienating atmosphere. The more they go through phases of alienation, the more they become aware of their own selves. However, they never overcome their trouble completely or succeed in dragging themselves out of the void. Amongst all the individual struggles to settle down, the only common goal in the Diaspora people is that they stick together to save their culture from being swept away in the whirlpool of the multiple realities of life, the duality of the mind arising from the sense of a divided identity, the fractionated origin, ethnic pluralism, religious pluralism and the list goes on.
