Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni is a well-known name in diasporic literature. As an IndoAmerican diasporic writer she interlaces her stories around the themes of diaspora, identity crisis, cultural conflict and constant search of home in the new migrated land. She breathes into her novels her unparallel insight into an immigrant’s daily struggle to adapt to the new culture without sacrificing her own tradition and culture. Since most of her characters are immigrants to US trying to adapt to the ways of the new migrated land, there is always a constant tension; they dwell in a space that is marked by strong cultural conflict; constantly in search of their new identity. This paper attempts to examine cultural conflicts between the East and the West in Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni’s two novels, The Mistress of Spices and Sister of My Heart. This article thereby will also examine the influence of the cultures on the other leading to alienation and loss of identity and again how each of these cultures help to interrogate, create and recreate their cultural identity
