Sonny does not create music for America When his people are dying outside. a Pakistani woman considers safe at home and prefers to stay In and the Afghani man has to take his children to school though it is not far from the house. After this incident a kind of disquietude is observed among the immigrants. The social upheaval affected Indian immigrants personal and social, inward and outward lives.
