Sense of nostalgia, Displacement, loss of identity, dilemma, connecting roots of the identity formation. Connected with roots overpour the burden of individual identity. Everybody carries the scars, injustices, and wounds of the past with them as they remain in their memories and the places they formerly owned.

The object of this paper is how memory i.e., back identity plays a remarkable role in shaping identity. The approach will use postcolonial ideas to analyze the works of my author.
