Bharati Mukherjee is an author praised for her natural variation of the Indian Diaspora. She is being canonized as a post-colonial writer worldwide. Mukherjee is celebrated for shedding light on the oppressed women of India and bringing the strife of post-colonial immigrant women into a very public view. The problem with Mukherjee being named the spokeswoman for Indian Diaspora is that her idea of what it means to be "Indian" has become fixed. She has lost touch with the India of today and consequently her novels lack the dynamics of true post-colonial writers. Mukherjee simply emulates the cannon of the Western literary styles, misleading the uninformed reader who takes her dated opinions and treats them as fact. It is for this reason that Bharati Mukherjee should not be annonized.
Mukherjee went to a private Loreto school in India in the 1950s where she had to learn British history from Irish nuns rather than learning Indian history. ... Mukherjee was not formally educated on Indian history until she took graduate level courses on ancient Indian culture years later. She left to attend the University of Iowas prestigious Writers Workshop in 1961, before Indian historians had written texts.
