In the 21st century the word 'trauma' is not only used as a homogenous medical concept but also considered as a multidimensional psychological and moral idea. Earlier it meant the physical injuries caused by the 'shocking event'. From that perspective, it was referring to only 'shock', letting the people paralyze in response. That's what is implanted in the common people - 'trauma' means 'shock'. The change did not take place until the emergence of Freud's psychological study of hysteria and unconsciousness in the 1920s. Following him, this stereotypical illusion gets vagued with further analysis of 'trauma' by different distinguished theorists such as Cathy Caruth, Michael Alexander, Dominick LaCapra, etc. The study of psychological trauma steers at high speed especially after the Second World War. The journey does not even stop here. Parallelly it glides into its transitional moral phase after the 1970s. Here it extends its wing in any protest and violence, be it regional racial or religious, or communal. The ethical values fade away and moral judgment gets challenged. Thus, this paper aims at presenting all of these transitional phases including the discussion of socio-cultural-political dimensions. The 'mobility' in this field galvanizes the connection of different discourses simultaneously. It also focuses on the interconnection of diverse genres and generations with their heterogeneous lenses and temperaments.
