Title of the paper : Isolation and Identity: Techniques of Diasporic Representation in Aadujeevitham [The Goat Life]

Abstract: Diaspora refers to the spread of people from their original homeland to other parts of the world. Originally, it was used to describe the exodus of Jews from Israel, but over time, it has come to describe the large-scale migration or movement of a population from their homeland. In literature and media, the concept of diaspora is often explored to highlight issues of exile, identity, and cultural survival, which can be important themes in understanding the human experience across different geographies. Migration within the diaspora can have intense effect on both individuals and communities encircled by a range of social, economic and cultural impact. Those who go abroad for better job opportunities, higher wages and a better standard of living face unemployment, underemployment and exploitation in the labour sector. Immigrants can experience different cultures and broaden their perspectives and promote personal growth, but they may also experience difficulties in adapting to the new environment, discrimination and identity crises.
