“Threads Of Belief: Exploring Superstitions In Meira Chand’s “House Of The Sun”

N Annakamatchi

Abstract


One of the greatest modern writers of diasporic literature is Meira Chand (1942–).

Her paintings effectively represent her diasporic consciousness. She has written over six books, all of which have the diaspora as their central topic. She has also done a commendable job of describing superstitious beliefs. She has provided a clearer explanation of her idea. One of the main characters, Mrs. Hathiramani, is shown as mindlessly adhering to this notion. She has been put in comparison with her equally intelligent spouse. Nevertheless, he was powerless to stop his wife from acting in a superstitious manner. The portrayal of the Sindhi people in House of the Sun is exquisite. The author of House of the Sun makes it clear in his work that people should remember their culture even if they are living in a better area than their own country. The superstitious subject has illustrated all of this this article explores.
