Migration invites great hermeneutics which creates and formulates shocking and surprising experiences in literature. Human mobility and migration are not a recent phenomenon. They are one of the survival strategies adopted since the dawn of human civilization throughout the history. Migration is the most important and natural phenomena leading to human progress and development. The term 'Diaspora' has appeared as one of the key tropes in the modern Humanities today.
