Abstract

Shared common interests, values, and beliefs define communities as an amalgamated body of persons. Often it is said that community is a united population in which people are bonded together. However, it is observed through studies that ideals of homogeneity and identity are basic things on which communities are founded. The whole world has become a global village because of modern invention and technology and this globalization has put the identities of the people at stake. The research paper about "Deconstructing Identity Issues in ‘The Reluctant Fundamentalist’ by Mohsin Hamid'' examines the problem of identity and discovers the troubles of immigrants especially the Muslim-Pakistani immigrants after 9/11incident. It also talks about the role of the characters roots and history in building their identities and how the characters face challenges which make their life problematic in multicultural America. Theytry to negate their past, culture and roots but in doing so, they find themselves in trouble because to leave past and roots is very difficult process.
