Other than adding to the readability and popularity of Indian writings in English on the inte rnational arena, what the female Indian writers of the diaspora have identifiably achieved is an incontrovertible, feministic reinterpretation of terms – mostly patriarchal ones – like ‘moral truth ’, ‘human values ’, and ‘righteousness’. With the female Ind ian diasporic writers advocating sexual openness, plurality of partners, pre -marital sexual union, and staunch opposition to patriarchal codes of dressing and conduct for women, especially the young ones, in their writings as a form of feminist protestatio n, terms like ‘moral truth’ and ‘human values’ do not seem to have the same connotations as they had in the earlier times. What this paper proposes to do is to very briefly re -examine the two novels – Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni ’s The Mistress of Spices (1997) and Kavita Daswani ’s Salaam, Paris (2007) – in order to interpret how terms like ‘human values ’, ‘moral truths ’, and so on, have been changed in the writings of the female Indian diasporic writings. Daswani ’s professorship and Daswani ’s journalistic engagements with American media might not permit the tagging of the term ‘ordinary women’ to them; but their voices appear to reflect what the liberalised female Indians of the metros or those settled in the West think of the patriarchal social values in the 21st century
