Material Memory, Partition fiction, Thing Theory, Objects

It is common knowledge that the Partition led to one of history's deadliest upheavals and most horrifying chapters. These impolite behaviours mirrored the patriarchal culture's view of women as objects of honour. Women were positioned as objects of possession and means of communication for retaliation in partition violence between opposing groups of men. While villages were pillaged and set on fire across the border, women were tortured and disfigured, and trains crossing the border were discovered to be filled of dismembered bodies. The body of a woman has been explored in relation to a greater national concept in the Partition narrative. The idea of "woman as nation" has really become a cliché in Partition research. However, this essay will look at the materials that were carried during the Partition and the significance of those mundane objects. This study will draw on Arjun Appadurai’s “The Thing Itself”, The Social Life of Things and Brown’s “Thing Theory” to read short stories like “Khol Do” by Saadat Hassan Manto, “Dear Khatija” by M.G. It will employ the theory of Material Memory and Thing Theory to study the violence against women during the partition.
