The word ‘ethnic cleansing’ means a systematic and forced removal of certain ethnic or religious group by a more powerful ethnic or religious group, often resulting in making a certain area homogenous and practicing same religion. Most Kashmiri Pandits living in the Kashmir Valley left in 1990 as aggressor viciousness inundated the state. Some 95% of the 160,000-170,000 networks left in what is regularly depicted as an instance of ethnic purifying. For what reason did they leave? What political developments have followed? A large part of the current spotlight is on the individuals who have left Kashmir. The current paper attempts to investigate the injury of Kashmiri Pandit, who were dislodged from Kashmir valley during the political disturbance of 1990's, as depicted in Rahul Pandita's wonderfully composed memoir Our Moon Has Blood Clots, deploring the deficiency of home, the story of the book is in first person, and the writer consistently portrays the encounters of his own just as his family pre 1990's and post 1990's. Chaotic panic was widespread. Fear and fright loomed large. Humanity was being hijacked while the confusion was confounded. Kashmiri Pandits and those Kashmiri Muslims who supported their Pandit brethren were running for their lives. Loud pro- Islam and anti- Hindu slogans were raised collectively by a multitude of humanity and relayed through powerful loudspeakers almost piercing the ear drums. These outbursts were not new to the Pandits in their homeland as they were accustomed to these shout outs at odd hours with tumultuous bangs and threats that were brewing in the valley of Kashmir. This was the starting of ‘ethnic cleansing’ from the Valley of Kashmir.
