Ghosh who belongs to the postcolonial era constantly rummage around that intangible moment in which individuals accept their histories, move away from their native place, try to fix their roots in a strange locality and free themselves from the rhetorical burden of circumstance they encounter in their life. His characters live during various periods of time and feed the sense of non- belonging because of their uprooted conditions and disappointments created by various events of history like war of Independence, World War, Partition of Bengal and riots. In Ghosh’s first novel, The Circle of Reason (TCR) the diasporic entity constantly negotiates between both time and space i.e. .history and geography. It is an ambitious, fantastic narrative, set partly in the India of British Raj and Party in the Middle East and North Africa. The novels set off the characters through a succession of homelands-into that third space where boundaries are distorted and cultures collided, disabling perplexities and complexities in their circumstances. The novels present sequence of inexorable changes that never lead to chaos, yet moves towards rejuvenation. The paper focuses on female characters like Toru-Debi and Parbothi-devi of Lalpukur who attach a value to the physical space and other migrant women like Zindi, Karthamma and Kulfi, the explorers of fortune in a new land as well as Mrs.Verma who tries to modify the existing place similar to her native place. The novel takes us through swirling restlessness and violence and says that home is to be found in the way we perceive the circumstances and relate ourselves to it.
