Seeman’s has identified five alternative meanings of alienation. While doing so Seeman’s considers the social conditions that lead to the “five variants of alienation” and “their behavioural consequences” (1959, p.784). The paper examines the manifestation of Melvin Seeman’s theory of alienation in Siddhartha Gigoo’s The Garden of Solitude. It examines the application of Seeman’s five classification of alienation on the community of Kashmiri Pandits who experienced forced exodus in 1990s from their homeland, Kashmir. The paper elucidates powerlessness, meaninglessness, normlessness, social isolation and self-estrangement as extensions of Kashmiri Pandits’ alienation who were subjected to relentless trauma due to the forced expulsion. It endeavours to provide the textual evidences to quadrate the Melvin Seeman’s theory of alienation with the alienation faced by Kashmiri Pandit community.
