The Turmoil of Marital Relationships in Selected Stories from Various Indian Languages: In the Context of Partition and Communal Riots Mousumi Patra, Research Scholar, Department of Bengali, University of Kalyani, Kalyani, West Bengal, India | ||
ABSTRACT | ||
India achieved its independence through partition. Partition was supposed to be a means of eradicating communalism, but in practice, it didn’t. The partition took place in the context of the horrific communal riots, and even later, the path of independent India began with the consequences of the same conflicts of the past. After independence, when the geographical separation was transformed into a permanent religious division by transferring Hindus and Muslims on both sides of the border, the problem became more intricate, and communal riots spread out everywhere. Despite beginning its journey as a secular nation, independent India encountered numerous challenges to maintaining communal harmony and coexistence, leading to the impact of communal riots on the Indian population. Partition and the communal riots that associated with it stabbed the life of the nation into pain, despair, oppression and lamentation. Similar to the profound and far-reaching sorrow caused by the partition, communalism has also endangered social civilization. Literature, particularly short stories, evolves with its time and reflects the contemporary issues and crises with great sincerity. As a result, the negative repercussions of the communal riots that took place in India at different eras, along with its violent and vicious manifestations, have emerged in short stories written in different Indian languages by several Indian authors. In most of these stories written in connection with partition and communal riots, the common themes that have emerged as displacement due to the partition and riots, mass migration, genocide, looting, women's oppression, the suffering of children and the elderly, the suffering of men and women, and the smashed form of men's and women's marital lives. This article explores the nature of the dissolution of intimate relationships between men and women in short stories written in several Indian languages in context of partition and communal riots. In this instance, a number of relevant stories in different Indian languages are taken into consideration in order to highlight the specific issue. | ||
