Thirty-three in-depth interviews were conducted across first, second, and third generation SLTR living at the refugee camps in Tamil Nadu, India. The study found that the traumatic experiences and internal conflicts associated with exile among the first-generation participants (FGP) and second-generation participants (SGP) are primarily channeled through social customs and parenting styles. Refugee identity and correlated difficulties are constituted as collective trauma. The motive for resolving the fragmented self was unconscious replicated nightmares among the participants. Irrespective of generations, participants unconsciously tried to reintegrate their fragmented collective existence. The FGP and SGP passed the Sri Lankan Tamil culture onto their offspring, imposing expectations on the next generation to reclaim Tamil land and sustain cultural legacies. The study highlighted that helping behavior differs across generations, influenced by the encountered atrocities. Further extensive research on humanitarian rehabilitation policies is needed for their collective social integration. The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Nature B.V. 2025.
