In The Alienate in Jaishree Misra’s Ancient Promises, this monograph delves into the themes of displacement, identity, and the estranging forces of culture and society within Misra’s seminal work. Through a critical exploration of the novel’s protagonist, a woman torn between her Indian roots and her adopted foreign identity, the monograph examines how Misra intricately portrays the psychological alienation that accompanies migration and cultural hybridization. By engaging with postcolonial theory, feminist perspectives, and narrative techniques, this study offers a comprehensive analysis of how Ancient Promises explores the emotional and social costs of reconciling one’s past with an ever-changing present.
