Abstract: Arun Joshi is a remarkable Indian writer.

Man alienates himself from his own self, because he finds no identity even in himself. He dislikes himself. He develops an aversion about himself in his mind itself. Consequently, he finds no place in the society. He wanders here and there in order to get an identity. In the light of the above background this paper attempts to study the longing for identity in Arun Joshis The Foreigner .
