Abstract: The year 1947 did not merely draw a line on a map. It was a surgical incision into the living flesh of a subcontinent, a violent severance that created the new nations of India and Pakistan and left behind a scar that continues to throb in the collective psyche of South Asia. The Partition of India was not just a political event; it was a human cataclysm of almost unimaginable scale, leading to one of the largest mass migrations in history, with estimates of up to 15 million people displaced and a death toll that may have reached two million. Beyond the staggering statistics lies a deeper, more persistent trauma: the fragmentation of identities, the shattering of communities that had coexisted for centuries, and the enduring question of belonging. Literature has emerged as one of the most profound mediums for processing this trauma, giving voice to the unspeakable and preserving the memory of what was lost. Through the distinct narrative lenses of Salman Rushdie, Khushwant Singh, Saadat Hasan Manto, and Qurratulain Hyder, we can explore the multifaceted legacy of Partition, not as a closed historical chapter, but as an open wound that continues to shape notions of self, community, and nation.
Keywords: Partition of India, fragmented identities, Partition narratives, cultural trauma, historical memory, postcolonial literature.
