This book studies negotiations of gender politics in the process of
nation formation in the aftermath of the Partition. One of the most
traumatic events in South Asian history, the Partition forms the
basis of numerous literary and cinematic interpretations. Drawing
on Hindi, English, Urdu and Punjabi fiction, it shows how gender is
irrevocably woven into the idea of the nation and the politics of
it. It focuses on the works of Saadat Hasan Manto, Rajinder Singh
Bedi, Ismat Chughtai, Yashpal, Khushwant Singh, Abdullah Hussein,
Mumtaz Shah Nawaz and Attia Hosain to delve into the horrors of the
Partition, toward women in particular, and their representations in
literary and cinematic imaginations. As an important contribution
to the study of the Partition of India, this volume will be of
great interest to scholars and researchers of literature, culture
studies, film studies, politics, gender studies and South Asian
studies. .
