Introduction
The Arabic language has twenty eight letters that consists of consonants and vowels. It also has fourteen symbols that function as short vowels and pronunciation markers.

A Wifes Story by Bharati Mukherjee...Bharati Mukherjee, "A Wife's Story" The main theme of Mukherjee's short story, "A Wife's Story," is the cultural transformation of the main character, Panna. She is an Indian woman who comes from a very traditional background whose life is being transformed by her assimilation into Western Culture. This began through education: she had an aristocratic British-style education in India and at the time of the story was enrolled in a PhD program in New York. But her physical movement to American culture accelerated the pace of change. Her alien status within American culture is driven home at the beginning of the story when she attends a performance of David Mamet's play...

The literature of exile and imaginary homelands in salman rushdie, bharati mukherjee, and v. s. naipaul..., at the very centre of discourse, an outside of the inside, an inner rim. It must follow, like the central characters in the novels, the trajectory of the exile.
One of the most important sentences in any of these three novels is one of the simplest. It is a statement by the central character of Bharati Mukherjee's Jasmine. In Mukherjee's novel, we have seen the central character take on many roles and many names; she has assimilated into the dominant discourses of whatever land she has been apart of and has met the expectations of the men who offer her protection. It seems to be a simple story of victim-hood, in which a illegal immigrant and a...

The literature of exile and imaginary homelands in salmon rushdie, bharati mukherjee, and v. s. naipaul... in each novel, nor do the novelists share the same dogma. Indeed, the freshness of these three novels is that they all eschew dogmatic notions of what the exile is and what role he or she can play in the world.
Bharati Mukherjee combines an ontological investigation into the criss-crossing subjectivity of the exile, with a belief in the positive and interventionary possibilities of living a hybrid or "genetic" existence. The play of signifiers, the mimicry of the dominant discourse, is in itself a positive mode of action-as long as it is mimicry that accepts within its production the notion of play. The central character in Jasmine takes on various personae, many of which could be considered, at times, racist, anti-feminist... in...

Woman Role...gave them more recognition as an individual which was denied to them when they worked long hours at home, doing various household chores. Laura’s statement that ‘A housewife never gets the recognition that a working woman gets’, succinctly describes the changing expectations of the women. ‘Cooking was often the first chore from the reproductive sphere that men took up’, clearly shows the tacit acceptance of the evolving roles of women in the society by the men.
The article indeed, has been able to give an important insight into the evolving roles of genders. The compulsions of the urbanization have been the primary reasons for the empowerment of the women who have been denied their...

Essay on Desirable Daughters novel by Bharati Mukherjee...Essay on Desirable Daughters novel by Bharati Mukherjee: Thesis: In the novel Desirable Daughters, the main character in the form of Tara Lata struggles with the major themes of Self versus Society, Self Destruction and Self Discovery.
The novel Desirable Daughters belongs to that genre of American literature which deals with issues of immigrant life and cultural assimilation. There are sufficient works in this genre that represent Hispanic, African and Chinese ethnic minorities in the United States, but relatively few that speak for South Asian immigrants in general and Indian Americans in particular. Bharati Mukherjee’s work fills this void in the American...

Jasmine Assignment...of sex; they are a matter of domination too. But what kind of agenda is probably behind the writer’s intentions? Is that agenda politically motivated at all?
And this is perhaps the main point Mukherjee wants to make: Discrimination against women exist in all cultures including those of both the underdeveloped/developing and developed countries.
Conclusion
The best part of the novella is that it is based on a series of realistic description and interpretation of events. However, the main demerit appears to be a chronic inconsistency in the writer’s viewpoint. Mukherjee appears to have neglected the fact that not only women but also men are suffering due to the intercultural conflicts and immigration...
