Migration happens due to varied reasons. It may occur for trade and commerce or it may be coerced, voluntarily or involuntarily migration. In the past, people from third world nations were taken on as indentured labourers to work in the foreign countries. They were forced to work there as slaves. It was an involuntarily migration that used to happen in those days. Nowadays people are voluntarily leaving their countries for the immense opportunities that any foreign nation offers them. The present paper will focus on immigrants’ issues, different affiliations of first generation and second-generation immigrants, the role of memory in the lives of immigrants and changing dynamics of native and foreign identity. It will also focus on how the memories of the native land haunt immigrants living in different parts of the world. It will also show how the immigrants feel alienated when their identity become fragmented because of the indifferent attitudes of people in both of their homes. Through this paper, all these issues will be examined to study Jhumpa Lahiri’s The Namesake.
