Arupa Patangia Kalita, a renowned novelist from Assam, highlights the experiences of women and marginalized groups. She specifically explores the challenges faced by women in different aspects of life. In her novel "Felanee" (2011), Kalita examines the issue of homelessness, drawing inspiration from real events in Assam during the late 1970s. This time frame was defined by noteworthy social and political unrest. The novel delves into Felanee's experiences, shedding light on the impact of displacement, ethnic identity, and resilience in difficult situations. Displacement, which involves being forcefully uprooted from one's home, may potentially lead to significant emotional, psychological, and physical consequences. This research article aims to analyze these themes in Kalita's work, offering insights into the complexities of trauma and resilience within the context of Assamese ethnic conflict.
