Abstract
This paper attempts to portray the psychological crises of a Bengali diaspora, Iqbal Ahmed Chuadhary settled in Australia around two decades portrayed in the Seasonal Adjustments written by a Bangladeshi award-winning writer Adib Khan. A long term diasporic feeling makes Iqbal unable even to integrate and to assimilate his own native culture and religion at his native land. As a Bengali migrant, Iqbal has to encounter the changes because of different cultural environment both home and abroad. As a result, he has to undergo a psychological trauma due to his failure to cope up with any culture neither his native culture nor the foreign culture. This research study intends to focus on how the long term diaspora makes changes in the attitude to the native culture and creates a cultural gap in the mind of a Bengali expatriate. To validate the theoretical concept ‘Hybridity’ and ‘Third Space’ by Homi. K. Bhabha , a complete textual analysis is required.
