The predicament of belongingness in Manju Kapur's work is one of upheaval and anguish, which further highlights the problems of cultural identification, ethnic identity, and the doubts of remaining in one location. The purpose of this paper is to reveal the protagonist's experience of feeling alienated and displaced in Canada in one of Kapur's novels titled The Immigrant. In this novel, the author suggests that life as an immigrant was intolerable, compelling the individuals to make an effort to go through the process of economic, social, and cultural adjustment. In addition, the paper discusses the yearning for cultural fusion in the new dwelling, which is, in fact, the premise upon which the novel is built; in addition, Kapur's skillful presentation of the circumstances in which the characters find themselves is another significant aspect of this novel that is also examined in the paper. Yet, the discussion also covers the issues of "alienation" and "displacement," which are present in the lives of many Indians who move overseas. These factors are given by few more women authors, but only to a limited level.
