Description

This scholarly work examines the overlooked narratives surrounding the 1947 Partition of India, focusing on the profound personal and psychological costs often overshadowed by political histories. Whilst the division of the Indian subcontinent and formation of independent India and Pakistan are well documented, the emotional and gendered dimensions of this upheaval remain underexplored in academic discourse. The book centres on the splitting of Bengal, excavating literary archives to uncover how individuals and communities experienced displacement, loss, and identity fragmentation. By analysing preserved literary accounts and neglected testimonies, this volume reveals the deep human impact of decolonization and partition, particularly through a gender-informed lens. Part of the Routledge Research on Gender in Asia Series, it bridges historical scholarship with literary analysis to illuminate how trauma, memory, and narrative intersect in post-colonial South Asian contexts.
