The Literature of Partition H-Asia CFP, A Divided Legacy: The Literature of Partition Discussion published by Dr. Manoj Kumar on Thursday, October 20, 2016 Type: Call for Papers Date: October 15, 2016 Location: India Subject Fields: Humanities, Literature A Divided Legacy: The Literature of Partition Call for Papers Deadline for submission: December 15, 2016 Contact emails: [email protected] Editors Dr. Hemendra Singh Chandalia, Professor of English at JRN Rajasthan Vidyapeeth University, Udaipur (Rajasthan) Dr. Manoj Kumar, Asst. Professor, Amity University Rajasthan, Jaipur Concept Note Partition is a geo-political phenomenon that splits the nations into parts. The partition of India divided it into three parts as if two arms of a trunk had been severed off. It came as a condition of Independence, though many versions of its causes exist in history books. Indians struggled hard to get freedom which required sacrifice of many lives. India succeeded to be free from British rule in the wake of partition. The biggest exodus of people followed. The people of Indian subcontinent who lived together for centuries suddenly got swayed away by the divisive politics of the colonial powers and became bitter enemy of each other and inflicted rape, loot, and bloodshed on the supposed enemies. In the name of partition, they chopped each other. Though major partition literature depicts the division on the western border but an equally traumatic experience was felt by the people of Bengal as well. In fact Bengal suffered partition thrice. First, in 1905 by the British, then in 1947 and also in 1971 when many Bangla speaking Hindu families migrated from East Pakistan to West Bengal. The demolition of Babri Mosque in 1992 also caused tremors in Bangla Desh and people suffered the reaction there also. In fact, partition has seeped in Indian psyche as a permanent pathological condition. Time and again it erupts as a silent volcano and destroys the fabric of togetherness, fraternity and unity. Not much has been said in critical writings about the partition of Kashmir in the last century. The people of Kashmir have also suffered on account of foreign infiltration as well as state suppression. The large scale ouster of Kashmiri Pundits is yet another issue. Citation: Dr. Manoj Kumar.

A good amount of literature is written on this subject particularly by the authors of India, Pakistan and Bangladesh. Some of the writers welcomed freedom though it was smeared with blood, vandalism, rape etc. but some writers considered it as ‘false dawn.’ Nazrul Islam of Bengal stated that the Swaraj did not bring anything for the hungry child or because it was a divided India. But, this event has motivated many writers and filmmakers to depict the horror and agony of partition. Writers such as Khushwant Singh, Saadat Hasan Manto, Salman Rushdie, Bapsi Sidhawa, Bhisham Sahni , Manohar Mulgaonkar, Chaman Nahal, K A Abbas, Amitav Ghosh etc. tried to show the true picture of partition. Many films have also been made on this subject like Arth, Tamas, Gaddar: EK Prem Katha, Pinjar, Sardar, Jinnah etc. We will quote a famous poet ‘Naushad Lightwala’ who writes, “Jinke bhichhade the apne, aur tute the kai sapne, Wo ab tak soye nahi, idhar bhi, udhar bhi. The fire of partition has had not been put out and continues to flicker constantly in the hearts of people and is often flared by those who aim at misusing it political gains. Scholarly articles in English are invited on the above theme. For the convenience of the scholars some topics have been listed below but they are only suggestive and the scholars are free to choose their areas of interest within this wider framework.

That is where I got to know this legendary writer Krishna Sobti, who carried the weight of her name very lightly. Unlike many famous writers who choose to insulate themselves within a space that they claim as exclusive, Krishnaji’s immense zest for life, her interest in people, her genuine interest in the works of other writers, and her gift for finding humour in the most unlikely situations made her a very friendly, warm and caring person who touched our lives in myriad ways. Krishnaji left us on 25th January this year, leaving behind a tangible absence. Of her it can be truly said that she lived her life to the hilt, scripting a magnificent life for herself while illuminating the lives of many others who had the good fortune to know her.

  • Questions of Religion and Alienation in Bhisham Sahni's Pali
    www.galaxyimrj.com Galaxy: International Multidisciplinary Research Journal ISSN 2278-9529 Confused Identities: Questions of Religion and Alienation in Bhisham Sahni’s Pali Dr. Anil Sehrawat & Diler Singh Jaypee University of Information and Technology Waknaghat, Solan. Himachal Pradesh. India Pin-173234 The Partition of India-Pakistan was one of the most traumatic events experienced by people in the recent times. The massacre that followed the event was barbaric. The violence provoked by a handful of selfish and insensible people made Hindus, Muslims and Sikhs commit various inhuman crimes on each other. As the two countries were formed largely on the basis of religion, the people who were in minority in a region were forced to leave their homes and all their life-long possessions. The partition resulted in creation of approximately ten million refugees and at least one million deaths. The literature that has been written about the partition has very realistically portrayed the violence and the killings on both the sides. It deals with a variety of themes woven around the event. While some writers have talked about the massacre during the refugee migration, others have written about the difficulties that people had to face during their rehabilitation in a new country. Short story ‘Pali’ by Bhisham Sahani deals with the trauma of a child named Pali, who gets separated from his parents during the partition. Pali finds himself bewildered when he is converted to different religions twice. Also, he finds himself at crossroads when he is expected to forget his past life and accept the new one immediately.

Political activist, actor, playwright and poet, Safdar had been deeply committed, like so many young men and women of his generation, to the anti-imperialist, secular and egalitarian values that were woven into the rich fabric of the nation’s liberation struggle. Safdar moved closer to the Left, eventually joining the CPI(M), to pursue his goal of being part of a social order worthy of a free people. Tragically, it would be of the manner of his death at the hands of a politically patronised mafia that would single him out. The spontaneous, nationwide wave of revulsion, grief and resistance aroused by his brutal murder transformed him into a powerful symbol of the very values that had been sought to be crushed by his death. Such a death belongs to the revolutionary martyr. 6 PUBLICATIONS Safdar was thirty-four years old when he died.

  • Azadi: Partition Holocaust
    https://doi.org/10.24113/ijellh.v7i11.10092 Azadi: Partition Holocaust N. Ravi Vincent Teaching Assistant Dept. of English Andhra University Campus Vizianagaram, Andhra Pradesh, India [email protected] Abstract Chaman Nahal’s Azadi, concludes on a note of forgiveness as the only means through which Indians can recover their sanity. And Lala Kanshi Ram, the protagonist of the novel, feels that to live at peace with oneself, one must cease to hate and learn to forgive. Thus humanism is very transparent in Nahal’s Novels. Azadi by Chaman Nahal accepts the partition as a fact, an inevitable happening and he does not blame anybody for the partition but he effectively showcases the excruciating pain, repercussions after independence in 1947 and halocaust experienced by people around. Keywords: Azadi, Sanity, Inevitable Happening, Excruciating Pain, Holocaust And Repercussions. SMART MOVES JOURNAL IJELLH ISSN: 2582-3574 Vol. 7, Issue 11, November 2019 33 https://doi.org/10.24113/ijellh.v7i11.10092 ‘Azadi’ is a significant contribution to the body of creative literature which has sprung round the theme of partition. The Partition of India in 1947 was such a cataclysmic event for the country. The people who were eye witnesses to the horror and violence of those sad happening. No other event in the history of this country had created so tremendous an impact on India’s intellectuals and writers who continue to be haunted by it even today, after more than 7 decades.“K. R. Srinivas Iyengar opines that “ Novels on the ‘partition ’horrors and bestiality are religion, but it is not often they transcend sensationalism and achieve the discipline of if art.” ( Iyengar, 2008)1 There are countless writers who have expounded on the theme of partition.

  • Partition Lies, Advaita Vedanta and Bhisham Sahni's Tamas Subhasis
    Partition lies, Advaita Vedanta and Bhisham Sahni’s Tamas Subhasis Chattopadhyay Darkness is the privation of light qua the good. St. Augustine of Hippo (354 A.D. – 430 A.D.) saw evil as the privation of the good : In addressing the problem of evil, Augustine blended basic Stoic presuppositions regarding cosmic harmony and intelligibility with the Neoplatonic interpretation of evil as a privation of the good. (Torchia 817) Long before Augustine, Advaita Vedanta located imperfect sublation as the cause of perceiving the universe as dark. Before proceeding further, we need to digress and recapitulate the meaning of Advaita Vedanta. Advaita Vedanta is not amenable to translation and is loosely conflated with absolute non-qualified monism. Yet monism is a very Eurocentric concept. Non-qualified non-dualism (or absolute monism) has been popularized by Sri Śaṅkarācārya (circa 8th century A.D.), but in fact he is preceded by the likes of Sri Gaudapadacharya (circa 8th century A.D.) et al. Adi Śaṅkarācārya was followed by the likes of Sri Madhavacharya (circa 14th century A.D.). For the most up to date developments within the field of Advaita Vedanta, Rangaswami Sudhakshina’s introduction to her recent translation of Sri Shankaracharya’s corpus is the most accessible. Rangaswami is by far the most lucid author on this subject and her understanding of this philosophy and its lineages and its effects on India as a nation is worthy of serious scholarly scrutiny. There is little scope here to go into the cosmology of Advaita Vedanta --- the problem posed by this school of Hindu philosophy is that it admits of no cosmology and annihilates differences between the knower and the known.

  • Bhisham Sahni
    Asian Literature and Translation Vol. 2, No. 2 (2014) 1–9 Khandahar: The Ruins by Bhisham Sahni Translated from the Hindi with an Introduction by Madhu Singh Bhisham Sahni (1915-2003) was a distinguished Hindi writer, playwright, translator and actor, best known for Tamas (The Darkness), the thought-provoking Partition novel for which he was awarded the prestigious Sahitya Akademi (the Academy of letters) Award in 1976. He was associated with the All India Progressive Writers’ Association (AIPWA)1 whose contribution to Indian intellectualism and political activism peaked from 1936 until the late 1940’s. As a writer of short fiction he, along with Amarkant, Markandeya and Shekhar Joshi, wrote with emphasis on social realism in the manner of the grand master of Hindi fiction, Premchand. He was also associated with the ‘New Story’ movement2 in India, writing as he was during the 1950’s, though he did not much appreciate New Story’s concern with the exploration of experiential inner reality, choosing instead to depict realities and sensibilities in a much larger social context. In his autobiography, Aaj Ke Ateet (2003), he recollects: “I was never able to understand the finer nuances of the ‘New Story Movement’.” (177) “For me it was enough to identify the “story-ness” in the story and appreciate that it reflected the truth of life and was authentic, natural and realistic.” (210) A few pages later he says, “It was becoming difficult for me to define ‘New Story’. I could grasp some of its elements but I did not think that they were the attributes of ‘New Story’ only.” (212) He wrote seven novels and his short stories, published in nine collections, number over a hundred.

I This is not that long awaited dawn … —Faiz Ahmad Faiz T surrounding the Partition of India on August –, created at least ten million refugees, and resulted in at least one million deaths. This is, perhaps, as much as we can quantify the tragedy. The bounds of the property loss, even if they were known, could not encompass the devastation. The number of persons beaten, maimed, tortured, raped, abducted, exposed to disease and exhaustion, and other- wise physically brutalized remains measureless. The emotional pain of severance from home, family and friendships is by its nature immeasur- able. Fifty years have passed and the Partition remains unrequited in the historical experience of the Subcontinent. This is, in one sense, as it should be, for the truth remains that the Partition unleashed barbarism so cruel, indeed so thorough in its cruelty, and complementary acts of compassion so magnificent—in short a com- • T A U S plex of impulses so pernicious, so heroic, so visceral, so human—that they cannot easily be assimilated into normal life. Neither can they be forgot- ten. And so, ingloriously, the experience of the Partition has been perhaps most clearly assimilated in the perpetuation of communal hostility within both India and Pakistan, for which it serves as the defining moment.
