Abstract The present paper ‘The Pathos of Second Generation South Asians in the Shadow of the 9/11 Attacks in America: Fathoming the Depths’’ discusses the unprecedented scope and nature of the attacks of 9/11 leading to the sentiment that the events of that day “changed everything.” This rhetoric often deployed metaphors of time and space in order to describe 9/11 as a sui generis moment in American and world history. It appears that there is the need to propose an inclusive approach for the South Asian communities at the wake of the racial profiling. The clarification for the mistaken identity concentrates on mutual re-understanding by American and the South Asian communities towards each other. In the larger capitalist narrative, there is a dialogue of belongingness in diaspora at the backdrop of all the diasporians functioning as the commodities. It is evident that every generation of immigration faces the issue of assimilation in the larger society or the respective ethnic group where they have to make their own choices. It is crucial to instill the notion of the inclusivity and belonging among the non-Westerners. The America, a Western world power, has to take the initiative. It is time that the America reassumes the role of a global host of multiculturalism.
