Traumatic experiences, within the theoretical formulations of the First Wave of Trauma theorists, are considered unspeakable and unrepresentable through ordinary communicative language. It is observed that the intensity of the traumatic event shatters the psyche and destroys the mind’s ability to comprehend and linguistically narrate it. It is through the language of literature, which can surpass the ordinary language, that trauma is best articulated. Trauma’s structure as an incomprehensible experience challenges the possibilities of representation, and the notion of straightforward textual referentiality. Literary language’s ability to communicate trauma through different anti-narrative strategies like fragmentation, discontinuity, the inclusion of different stylistic features, disruptions, and intertextuality is seen as significant. The paper titled “The Unspeakability of Trauma and Postmodernism: Representation of the 1984 Anti-Sikh Riots/Delhi Riots in Jaspreet Singh’s Helium ” attempts to analyse the novel Helium(2013) written by the Indian-Canadian author Jaspreet Singh as a trauma text. It can be observed that different postmodern techniques are used in the novel to represent the traumatic effects of the 1984 Anti-Sikh Riots that happened in New Delhi, the capital city of India by the writer. The novel’s heavy reliance on postmodern features seems to have helped in the articulation of the traumatic impacts of the incident.
