The study of Indo-American Diaspora literature provides an opportunity to see how immigrant groups see themselves and their relationships with different countries. In particular, it allows us to observe how these immigrant Indians deal with their awareness of identity as a minority community and the means they use to recognise the "home" they have left behind and its persistent influence on their minds and psyche. The present research paper titled “Exploring the Diasporic World of Bharati Mukherjee and Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni through their Select Short Fictions” is a study of similarities and dissimilarities between Bharati Mukherjee and Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni as Indian diaspora writers. This paper also discusses the findings discovered during the in-depth analysis of The Middleman and Other Stories by Bharati Mukherjee and Arranged Marriage by Chita Banerjee Divakaruni. My choice of these two writers has been motivated by personal and professional reasons. They are the writers who have blended their personal vision, experiences, and their social, political, cultural and world view into the texture of their works. Their works can be read as independent, open-ended texts with infinite possibilities and probabilities to explore. As coloured expatriates, Bharati Mukherjee and Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni likely have faced their share of racial discrimination, which is clearly evident in their works. Mukherjee and Divakaruni, in their collection of short stories, have strongly presented the cultural confusion and confrontation of immigrants in a multi-racial society, their clash with the native culture and their need for adaptation as a part of expatriate experience
