Abstract

In our increasingly interconnected and diverse global landscape, the role of literature as a reflective medium for the multifaceted tapestry of human experiences cannot be understated. Jhumpa Lahiri's celebrated collection of short stories, "Interpreter of Maladies," serves as a poignant exemplar of literary exploration into the realm of multiculturalism and diaspora. This study conducts a comprehensive examination of the intricate dynamics of cultural diversity and displacement embedded within Lahiri's work.
