“…After partition, East Bengal was named East Pakistan and after the Bangladesh Liberation War of 1971, it became the independent nation of Bangladesh. In 1971, two wars were being fought, the civil war between West and East Pakistan and the war between West Pakistan and India; the armies of both countries were engaged in large‐scale violence against civilians (Tripathi 2016).…”

Against the backdrop of India's 2019 Islamophobic Citizenship Amendment Act, this article is based on ethnographic research with young Muslim women from Aligarh which aimed to show that their narratives of displacement and exclusion from citizenship inspired their search for belonging and enabled them to reinscribe spaces with their own, marginalised, but nonetheless real, projects of belonging. From exclusion and debasement springs new imagination of belonging: this is my finding. Drawing on intersectional feminist writings, postcolonial and critical Muslim studies, I propose that Muslim women's geographies become forms of contestation of the national project producing non‐citizens. In this context, I trace the interconnections between physical and spiritual geographies to show us how Muslim women continue to carve space for themselves.

“…Several hundred thousand women were raped during the violence. The genocide targeted the Hindu population, supporters of the Awami League, the police and armed forces, intellectuals, journalists, teachers, students and other professionals (Riaz 2004;Umar 2004;Tripathi 2016;Mookherjee 2015). Despite the relative international neglect of the 1971 genocide, it remains alongside Cambodia from 1975, Yugoslavia from 1992, Rwanda in 1994, among others, one of the world's major post-Second World War mass atrocities.…”

“…Many researchers have given their thought to the traumas of the characters of "Cracking India" as it does seem an issue of major importance. Tripathi (2016) has focused her study in which she majorly explains the traumas of female life in India at that particular time, additionally she explains the voice of protest and suffering at the same time. She showed the side of humane and satanic survivals in the unsympathetic world.…”

Any kind of evil prevailing in society damages the system on a general level and hurts humans at individual level. Living peacefully and becoming no harm to the other members of society is the first rule of humanity and colonization is one of the major social wrongdoings that ended up affecting nations and societies. With this background, this particular study tends to explore social alienation and displacement from Robertson et al. (1994), as an effect of colonization. This research bases upon the psychological and physical state of the colonized in context to their feelings and actions presenting how the colonization traumatized them with emotions of detachment and loneliness by analysing Sidhwa’s novel Ice-candy Man. The study depends upon the qualitative approach in which the theory of social alienation and displacement is used to analyze the text, implementing the physical and metaphorical displacement and effects of involuntary exile by Robertson et al. (1994). The findings of the research clarify the fact that colonization has a clear influence on social alienation and displacement not only in the physical way but also in extraordinarily subtle and psychological ways. This research draws attention towards how something physically insignificant as displacement without even being moved and alienation without getting socially alienated ruin lives. How harmfully it ignites the engine of utter hatred and revenge and brutally it turns out by destroying not just individuals but communities prevailing hatred and vengeance for coming generations. This research has the tendency to give base to new research that may try to solve issues of subtle displacement and alienation and how it ends in the long run.
