the life of those migrants or immigrants who have been subjected to the predicaments offered by
expatriation. This particular paper is an attempt to analyse the ideas captured by the novelist in
this particular novel The Holder of the World, an in-depth analysis of the life of the protagonist
would throw lights on all those important aspects which have contributed to the theme of
expatriation, and psychic-conditions of an expatriate.
