The purpose of this paper is to enlighten the position of the immigrant protagonists, they try to adjust, assimilate and adapt to the system of American society and how they feel themselves rootless culturally, culturally and historically. Consequently, it results in confusion, confessions, and depression in the characters. The people have to keep themselves away from home and create a new home in a new system, new society, and a new culture. Ultimately, it is a conflict or dilemma. As an emigrant novelist, Bharati Mukherjee has experienced sweet and bitter consequences and has tried to portray such lurking, fluctuation, rejection, revision, isolation or alienation, and assimilation with the values of both cultures-from instability, sacrifice, and modification, isolation and separation, and assimilation with the importance of both cultures-from one is uprooted, and another one is assimilated.
