Migration is a journey which can be described no longer solely as a bodily transplantation; it is a quest to get adopted and to be adapted. This paper endeavors to deliver out the identification and transformation attained by means of Jasmine, the central persona in Bharati Mukherjee’s novel Jasmine (1989) via the manner of migration and assimilation. The exchange in identification related through transformation will become indispensable for the protagonist to live to tell the tale in an alien land.
