Partition, gender, women, suffering, holocaust , hardship

Partition in India is perceived by the nationalist historians as an unfortunate outcome of sectarian and separate politics . The joy of our country's independence from colonial rule in 1947 was tarnished by the violence and brutality of partition. The partition of British India into the sovereign states of India and Pakistan {with its western and eastern wings } led to many sudden developments . Thousands of lives were snuffed out , many others changed dramatically , cities changed , India changed , a new country was born , and there was unprecedented genocidal violence and migration. Partition was an event which was marked by violence. Although more than six decades have passed since 1947, it continues to have traumatic significance for the history of the sub-continent and retains its significance in the contemporary period. Gyanendra Pandey (2001) argues that the experience of violence helps ‘making of the community’ as well as the ‘subject of history’. The feeling of mixed euphoria of becoming an independent nation and the discomfort of partition and violence that accompanied the decision. This particular event of partition has a peculiar importance in the life of both the nations. However, as underlined by Veena Das (1995), Urvashi Butalia (1998), Ritu Menon (1999) and others point out that the millions of people who have been given barely any space in the discourse of partition were the separated families, whose anxious anticipation of return of a lost member form the basis of tragedy that supplanted the violence of bereavement. Ritu Menon and Kamala Bhasin (1998) state that in ‘political histories of partition’, it is rare to find out the ‘feminist historiography of the partition’. The feminist historiography is significant because it helps us understand the unheard voices of women. It also recognizes how nations, family and communities try to construct ‘their’ identity through ‘their’ possession of the female body.
