  • Abstract:
  • Sri Lanka is a South Asian island located in the Indian Ocean. It gained its independence from Britain in 1948. The island witnessed the civil conflict between the majority Sinhalese and the minority Tamil communities since its independence. Tamils are known to be the most discriminated ethnic community in Sri Lanka and they report systematic discrimination in areas that include employment, University education and access to justice. The eruption of the civil war in Sri Lanka between the government and LTTE saw a mass migration of Sri Lankan Tamils to escape the hardships and bitter life of a country torn at war. This paper focuses on the understanding of the ethnic tensions that resulted in bloodshed and terror. This paper also includes a study of the Sri Lankan Tamil migrants to understand the causes for their dispersal and to analyze problems related to their living as diaspora across the globe. Hybridization is the outcome of displacement that occurred owing to the cultural blend through adaptation and assimilation. Immigrants experienced various problems in the displaced spaces and alien cultures and faiths that brought in novel notions and practices. Being away from home in the context of unfamiliar languages and traditions has caused complex trials and tribulations too. The present study aims at the analysis of the Diaspora and its side effects in the lives of the Tamil people as projected in the novel, The story of a Brief Marriage written by the Sri Lankan Tamil write, Anuk Arudpragasam.
