Exile, Kashmiri Pandits. Memory, Survival, Trauma, Dreams

Exile is a painful experience for human beings and has been written and spoken about in various discourses. Kashmiri Pandits were forced to leave their homeland due to the insurgency that broke out in Kashmir in the year 1989. They began to use their words to give an insider’s perspective on the incidents and the pain of living as refugees in their own country. The paper aims to closely analyse Siddhartha Gigoo's "The Garden of Solitude" and to probe into how different generations of displaced Kashmiri Pandits try to survive in the hostile situations of exile. The paper will focus on how the traumatic event of displacement has affected people psychologically and how their dreams can be read as early symbols of collective fear. The paper intends to look at exile not as a passive state of grief and silence but as a space from which people fight against being forgotten and use memory to survive and to resist.
