A Reception of Partition in Manohar Malgonkar’s A Bend in the Ganges
Keywords:
Partition, Human suffering, Non-ViolenceAbstract
The Partition of India promised its people both political and religious freedom-through the liberation of India from British rule, and the creation of the Muslim state of Pakistan. Instead, the geographical partition brought displacement and death, and it benefited the few at the expense of the very many. Partition was known one of the bloodiest events in the Indian history in the twentieth century. In this research paper, the researcher examines the reception of partition, context, execution, and aftermath of Partition. The researcher exposes the widespread obliviousness to what Partition would entail in practice and how it would affect the populace.
