Depiction of Violence on Women in Partition Literature: A Feministic Study
The current study focuses on the hardships and anguish faced by women during the partition of the subcontinent. The independence of Pakistan and India is the basis for this split. Accidental deaths of divisional armed forces soldiers are used to demonstrate the division's involvement in a national struggle. Women are perceived as subordinates' representations by males of the opposing community and their co-religious organizations as a target for retribution, according to partition literature examined through a Feminist lens. As depicted in literary representations, violence, kidnapping, forced marriages, noble assassinations, loss of identity, and kidnapping as a result of nationalistic, cultural, and racial struggles between the people of a newly built state and the people of another state during migration all result in violence, kidnapping, forced marriages,noble assassinations, loss of identity, and kidnapping.
