An exegesis of traumatic experience of war on terror in the blind man’s garden by Nadeem Aslam
(UMT, Lahore, 2022) Anum Maqsood
The purpose of this paper is to investigate the impacts of the war through the experiences of individuals who suffered as victims, lost their happiness and got transformed into dire individuals. This paper explores how trauma connects with the aggression that damages the people and the social interaction of individuals. It also uncovers the effects of ugly war, “War on terror”, that was left on the minds and hearts of people and its horrifying outcomes that came during the time of war. Trauma Theory will serve as the theoretical framework for this paper by Cathy Caruth. Aslam's The Blind Man's Garden provides the best fictional example for this purpose, depicting individuals traumatized by the prevailing fear and dealing with mental stress.
