Abstract
Diaspora is a term that is usually used for Jews Diaspora in the past but now we have other examples of it as Mexican, and Chinese Diaspora. The term Diaspora can be used as a synonym of Exile. Exile can be symbolized as cruelty of man to man, where a man or group can create false assumptions towards other ethnic groups/races, as Hitler always said that Jews didn’t have their own culture and country, he exceeded his all the boundaries and created a history of cruelty by extermination thousands of Jews. In all the sense Diaspora created annoyance, suffering and depression in humans, but Edward Said in his Reflection on Exile has suggested the right way to deal with exile. He remarks, instead of being weak one should be strong in exile. Sometimes, exile has power to impart the virtues in a righteous way. He advises, we should not relay or attach our identity only with the nation and its land. He set the example of various writers as Conrad, Hemingway and Fitzgerald were not forced to live in another country but they resided willingly in another country. Even few have produced their masterpiece on exile. He counts many benefits of exile as learning more than one language and culture. So Said is not in favor of any forced Diaspora, but relay to deal Diaspora in the right attitude.
