Rohit Tikoo

Rohit Tikoo is a non-fiction author whose work examines history, memory, and forced displacement, with a particular focus on Kashmir.

His writing explores how violence, exile, and silence take shape over time, often long before they surface as visible events. Drawing on documented research and lived experience, he studies the deeper structures that normalise rupture, loss, and historical amnesia.

His books combine archival detail with narrative clarity, resisting simplification and ideological shortcuts. Rather than offering outrage or slogans, his work seeks explanation, accountability, and historical continuity. His writing on Kashmir has been read for its restraint, depth, and refusal to reduce complex human suffering into convenient narratives.

In addition to historical writing, he has written on scripture, media narratives, and the ethics of journalism, approaching these subjects through the same lens of responsibility, context, and civilisational memory.
