Solution :

The correct answer is A, B and C only.

Let us analyze each statement step-by-step to understand why this option is correct:

Statement [A]: Bharti Mukherjee’s novels display split in the diasporic subjects.
This statement is correct. Bharati Mukherjee's novels, such as Jasmine and The Tiger's Daughter, frequently explore the themes of migration, assimilation, and the cultural displacement experienced by immigrants. Her characters often display a psychological and cultural "split" as they navigate the tension between their native Indian heritage and their new American identities.

Statement [B]: Rohinton Mistry belongs to the community of parsies that fled to India from Persia to escape Islamic persecution.
This statement is correct. Rohinton Mistry is a renowned Indian-born Canadian writer who belongs to the Parsi community. Historically, the Parsis are followers of Zoroastrianism who migrated from Persia (modern-day Iran) to India between the 8th and 10th centuries to escape religious persecution following the Islamic conquest of Persia.

Statement [C]: Sujata Bhatt recalls home as a nostalgic memory and longs intensely for it.
This statement is correct. Sujata Bhatt's poetry, such as "Search for My Tongue," frequently deals with the themes of exile, language, and memory. She often portrays "home" (India) through a lens of deep nostalgia, capturing the emotional longing and the struggle to maintain her native identity and mother tongue while living abroad.

Statement [D]: Farrukh Dhondy connects Delhi and New York to discuss the diasporic experiences.
This statement is incorrect. Farrukh Dhondy, a British-Indian writer, is best known for works like East End Stories and Bombay Duck, which primarily connect Mumbai (Bombay) and London to explore the multicultural and diasporic experiences of South Asians in Britain, rather than Delhi and New York.

Statement [E]: Sharath Chandra in his poem, ‘In the third country,” wishes to die in India.
This statement is incorrect. G. S. Sharat Chandra's poem "In the Third Country" explores the feelings of alienation and rootlessness of living in a foreign country (neither the home country nor the host country feels fully like home). The poem reflects on the diaspora's sense of displacement rather than expressing a specific, literal wish to die in India.

Therefore, only statements A, B, and C are correct, making A, B and C only the correct choice.
