Rohinton Mistry born and brought up in Bombay, as a member of Parsi religious community of Indian soil. Mistry is one of the eminent Indian Diaspora writers, now settled in Canada though he found India keep getting in his way of writings. Though Mistry migrated to Canada long ago in 1975 yet he kept on experiencing the similar fascination towards the homeland as other diaspora writers like Salman Rushdie, Amitav Ghosh, Bharti Mukherjee, Vikram Seth and others have been realizing and became nostalgic with their words, penning their own versions of India in their fictions.
