A Theoretical Approach of Cultural Criticism of Bharati Mukherjees Story
Hybrid cultural identity is a recurring theme in Bharati Mukherjees stories as in A Wifes Story. Her characters, as Panna Bhatt in A Wifes Story, confront the flux of hybrid cultural identity and must deal with the reality. According to Kostor, the method of Mukherjee's depiction shows that the hybrid is indeed in the position to move freely between competing discourses, although not without numerous qualms and certainly opposition from purists within each culture.
