The
present paper intends to represent the events that occurred shortly
after the partition of India through the characters of the novel “Partitions”.
The research portrays the condition of small children who separated from
their parents during partition. Moreover, it focuses on the tragedies of
people that include the abduction of women and traumatization of
children. The paper discusses in detail that why teenager girls were
highly targeted. Furthermore, the research highlights the very crucial
moment of men’s killing their own women and children during partition.
Besides it, the study discusses the passivity of untouchables with
partition. In addition to it, the train incident has been depicted in
which not even a single person traveling survived. Finally, the study
critically describes another outlook of the partition in which the
people of either side have been shown happy while going their newly born
countries.
