In "The Gurkha's Daughter" (2012), Parajuly concerns characters survival through cultural practices between Nepali and English convention as hybridity in a host country. The characters of these stories immigrate to the host country with some purpose where they develop hybrid cultural space. They seem to have difficulty in coping with the host culture and the country because of which they start to negotiate and adapt new language, behavior, religion, lifestyle, relationship etc.
In order to show the presence of hybrid cultural space, different hybrid elements from the stories were identified and reasoned for hybridity. Hybrid is a word termed by Homi K. Bhabha which gives rise to new and unidentifiable cultural identity that has negotiation of meaning and representation. Hybridity is a product of adaptation and negotiation that is developed by immigrants in a host country for acceptance by the host community or for survival.
