This paper is a reassessment of the Durkheimian approach of ‘memory’ that essentially a group memory. Individual memory only exists so far it a product of a particular group (Halbwachs 1992). It tends then to ‘level’ the individual memories and sums up it under the rubric of ‘collective memory.’ While doing full justice of the collectivity aspect of every individual memory, in this paper it is important to understand how an individual memory becomes social through the complex processes and there is always an aspect of it unsharable in the public space.
