 As Rushdie puts in, Rohinton Mistry is a "writer from elsewhere". Very much of Indian origin, Rohinton Mistry in his novels, is always enthused with the infinitesimal particulars of his native city Bombay. However being a Parsi origin, Rohinton Mistry is more concerned with the tribulations and the idiosyncrasies of Bombay Parsis. Mistry in his novels explores the relationships at the heart of this community, their cultural identity and the uniqueness of their community living.
Mistry, being himself, belonging to the Parsi community, experiences the diasporic issues and as a writer he shed light over these issue. Rohinton Mistry is a writer who makes up a part of the Indian Diaspora. His short stories as well as in his novel, Mistry underscores both the heterogeneous nature of one community's identity and its dynamism. Traumatism in its inevitability brings change to the characters' lives, which Mistry focuses in his fictions. What he affirms is the power and pliability of the individual and that of the community in a world without a shred of pity.
Sympathetic to the women, he always advocates for the independence of the women and in his novels are always noted a protest of the women against the conventional arranged marriage. The novels bare often marked with a color of feminism. His females are fortuitous and choose their own male counterpart. The books of Rohinton Mistry are highly acclaimed and are considered as the masterpiece of the postcolonial literature.
