TL;DR: This paper examined the main female narrators of V. V. Ganeshananthan's Love Marriage and Monica Ali's "Dinner with Dr. Azhad" as they encounter varying forms of traumas that distort their perceptions of the world and lead them to question their own identities.
Abstract: At the intersection of trauma, identity, memory, and narrative theories, this article examines the main female narrators of V. V. Ganeshananthan’s Love Marriage and Monica Ali’s “Dinner with Dr. Azhad,” as they encounter varying forms of traumas that distort their perceptions of the world and lead them to question their own identities. This distortion changes the personal narratives they have created about the world, requiring them to reconstruct it in order to incorporate these traumatic experiences and form a coherent narrative on which they will be able to identify themselves and ultimately construct their own selves.

TL;DR: In both India and the UK participants are aware of their parents' preferences for a spouse from the same community or caste, but in the UK the context fosters more independent decision-making on the part of couples as discussed by the authors.
Abstract: In both India and the UK participants are aware of their parents’ preferences for a spouse from the same community or caste, but in the UK the context fosters more independent decision-making on the part of couples. In India, participants value parents’ involvement, both because marriage is viewed as a means to solidify and create new family ties, and because of a view that parents ‘know best’. Notions of family and filial duty shape participants’ constructions of marriage and participants in Baroda and London express a preference for different kinds of marriage. In India, participants feel that a family facilitated arranged marriage is preferable, with fewer ‘problems’, as Tarun states above, and in London, participants prefer ‘love marriage’ as a longer-lasting and more ‘authentic’ basis for a marital relationship.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors of Indian expatriate women writers of the Indian diaspora in North America have been studied and compared to the American society, where love and marriage are usually interrelated and the individual has freedom of choice in seeking a mate.
Abstract: The study of this paper expands upon love, marriage, sex, and family of the Indian expatriates. I propose to look at the works of some leading women writers of the Indian diaspora in North America. I shall concentrate, in particular, on JhummpaLahiri, Meena Alexander, Bharati Mukherjee and Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni. According to the sociologist Gregory Lee's graphic census, there was an increase of the Indian immigrants in America from "361,544 in 1980 to 800,000 in 1990. Through this census it is found that the Asian Indians are the fast growing in America bring in their families. The institution of the family plays an important role in the identity formation of Indians. During some of the interviews I conducted for my study, the participants stressed the point that the Asian Indians place a high value on the family. They say that marriage is a means of maintaining regional, caste and family identity. Marriage is not just between two individuals but rather the blending of two families. Generally, in India, love between the husband and wife was supposed to be the result of marriage rather than a prelude to it. But when we compare it with the marriage system in America, it is quite different. In American society, love and marriage are usually interrelated and the individual has freedom of choice in seeking a mate. The attitude of Indian immigrants towards love and marriage is quite opposite of that of Americans. Keeping all these views in mind, let us move forward and take a detailed look at some of the literary texts written by the expatriate women writers of the Indian diaspora in North America. JhumpaLahiri, winner of the Pulitzer Prize for fiction 2000 is such an expatriate writer. Her Interpreter of Maladies is a text of nine stories. In this book we find the characters, as the publisher's note indicates “navigating between the strict Indian tradition they've inherited and the baffling they must encounter everyday".
