Abstract
The objective of this study is to examine how trauma narratives depict the experiences of Kashmiris. To realize this objective, this study conducts a textual analysis of Nayeema Mahjoor's Lost in Terror in the light of Jeffrey Alexander's theory of cultural trauma. The findings show the use of a variety of artistic devices, including vivid imagery, symbolic language, and complex characters which help to understand the traumatic history of Kashmir regarding the political engagements and social responsibilities of a suppressed community. The findings have implications for understanding the enduring impact of cultural trauma in non-Western regions and the role of literature in promoting healing and reconciliation.
