Our Moon Has Blood Clots: the Exodus of Kashmiri Pandits by Rahul Pandita as the study of Migrant Literature Dr. Bindiya Rahi Singh Assistant Professor (Dept. of English) Govt.

It has come into effect since the 1980s. Migrant literature often focuses on the social contexts of the migrants; the country of origin that prompts them to leave, the experience of migration itself, the mixed reception they may receive in the country of arrival, experiences of prejudice and hostility, and the sense of restlessness and the search for status which can result from displacement and cultural diversity. The exodus of Kashmiri pundits from their lands is also an extinct example of migration due to communal trauma and class division in India from 1990 to 2011. Therefore the present novel is a live telecasting presentation of the writer who gives details of the bloodshed and fatal slaughter deeds of the Kashmiri people. It is a memoir of Rahul Pandita and begins with Kashmir's political turmoil from late 1989 to early 1990. Several works are based on the migrant such as The Absent State: In Surgery as an Excuse for Misgovernance by Neelesh Misra, Hello Baster- the Untold Story of India’s Maoist Movement and Our Moon Has Blood Clots: The Exodus of the Kashmiri Pandits (2013) by Rahul Pandita and, The Kite Runner (2003) by Khaled Hosseini are an example of cultural and identity crises. The present work is full of pathetic incidents and agony of its homeless narrator who was a young boy of fourteenth years at that time.

Keywords: Migrant Literature, Displacement, Multiculturalism, Cultural crises.
