The Impact of Partition On Indian Writing In English With Referance To Kushwant Singh’s Train To Pakistan, Manohar Malgonkar’sA Bend In The Ganges, And ChamanNahal’sAzadi

Abstract

Fiction is thus the expression of the most intimate social consciousness in which it is born
and evolves. As a creative process, fiction registers the creative evolution of the society itself.
Thus, the evolution of fiction and the evolution of the consciousness of the societal apparatus are
simultaneous and intermeshed. Indo-Anglian novel, right since its beginning, has inextricable
bonds with the socio-political milieu where in it took birth and has been written since. The emerging
national political consciousness in India which was slowly permeating to the grass-roots has
been faithfully mirrored in Indo-Anglian fiction.
The partition of the Indian subcontinent was an event of such a great magnitude that
profoundly affected human emotions and values to such a great extent that all creative arts and
artists have come under its influence. They have been performed and produced to educate and
appeal the audience about partition. But it is fiction that provides vast canvass to the creative
genius to deal with the very complex theme of partition and this genre has attracted writers of all
Indian languages
