My Father's Garden (2018) by Hansda Sowvendra Shekhar is a profound exploration of identity, memory, and longing. The novel is divided into three parts: "Lover," "Friend," and "Father." It follows the life of an unknown Santhal protagonist as he moves from his Adivasi homeland in Jharkhand to cities like Lucknow and Jamshedpur. The present research article explores the tension between tribal rootedness and urban alienation, examining how migration, sexuality, and contemporary aspirations influence the protagonist's sense of belonging. This research article uses postcolonial concepts of hybridity, intersectionality, and indigenous studies to elucidate how Shekhar navigates traditional roots and urban existence.
