Re-inventing Narrative, History, Myth, Politics and Women's Place in Kamleshwer's Partition

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: In this paper, I attempt to reinterpret the history of partition and bring out the distorted realities and truths by the colonial masters. Kamleshwar beautifully scores the dismantling of power through centuries, how political boundaries were demarcated crafty by the British regime, the instigation of religious conflict during partition, and partition as a never-ending political condition that happens due to the selfish interest of people in power. The novel exclusively tries to explore love as the only panacea for people whose lives have been torn apart. Nameless characters successfully record the dilemma of women survivors at the margins from both countries and provide a fresh outlook through magic realism.
