The present study focuses on Jhumpha Lahiri’s struggle for identity and the cultural dynamic that underpins self-formation in The Lowland .It analyses the characters of Subhash, Udayan and Gauri from a cultural point of view and undertakes an enquiry of themes like the creation and transfiguration of identity, the difficulties of finding true love and the importance of familial ties – themes that span Lahiri’s entire output. Finally it examines how Lahiri juxtaposes diverse customs so as to present the clash of cultures, developing her characters and circumstances in greater depth than ever before.
