In Mahesh Dattani’s Where Did I Leave My Purdah?, the inter-generational trauma, that is an important part of the Indian subcontinent due to a series of communal conflict, is explored through the play’s themes and techniques. In the first part of the paper, the complexity of trauma, memory and identity is explored through Coleman’s idea of denial and repression of reality and Caruth’s theory of trauma. This helps in elucidating the silences in the play as acts of articulation of witnessing traumatic events. The second part of the paper explores Dattani’s layering of Nazia’s ordeal through the use of the technique of play within a play.
