Abstract: The Diaspora is a key element of colonialism because millions of people habitually travelled to industrialized nations in search of better opportunities overseas. Themes of transformation, alienation, loneliness, and self-discovery are prevalent in the novels written by diasporic authors. Whether you leave your own country deliberately or are forced to, it can be distressing. Authors of diasporic ancestry do a fantastic job of capturing the emotional and physical suffering that their heroes go through when they relocate. People from the diaspora are emotionally and physically cut off from their home country and the rest of the globe despite being crowned, projected, known, and adored in their new community. Sunetra Gupta, an experienced member of the Indian diaspora, looks at how immigrants do in the United States. Most diasporic authors' books deal with themes of change, Characters find tranquilly by staying in their own country in a Sunetra Gupta's novels. They are overjoyed and satisfied because their prior encounters have left them with positive and lasting impressions. This essay makes an attempt to describe and evaluate the problems and experience in her Memories of Rain and A Sin of Color. Examining Sunetra Gupta's works reveals how the West is beginning to recognize migrant Indians as well as how this diasporic Indian adjusts to such a shifting plane of recognition through the never-ending process of re- creation.
