Title of the paper : Echoes Of Conflict: The Legacy of Ethnic Conflict in Rahul Panditas Our Moon Has Blood Clots: A Lost Home in Kashmir and Habiburahmans First They Erased Our Name: A Rohingya Speaks

Abstract: This paper explores the parallels between the personal memoirs of Rahul Pandita and Habiburahman, both of whom were displaced from their homelands due to ethnic conflict. Rahul Pandita, a Kashmiri Pandit, was forced to flee Kashmir during the insurgency in the 1990s, while Habiburahman, a Rohingya Muslim, escaped the persecution and violence in Myanmar. Both memoirists chronicle their experiences of displacement, identity loss and the brutalities of ethnic violence in their memoirs. Through their personal memoirs, Pandita and Habiburahman throws light on the deep scars left by ethnic conflicts and genocides, providing poignant personal accounts of homelessness, identity crisis, survival, resilience and the enduring impact of these conflicts on their lives.
