ABSTRACT | ||
The Partition of India in 1947 has been a historical event embedded in the minds of all Indians. A large number of people were rendered destitute and became disoriented, having to lose their homes and hearths forever. This partition became a heart-wrenching saga of the uprooted people which is some thing unprecedented in the history of humankind and therefore has been a subject of interest for historians and researchers. Jyotirmoyee Devi, in her novel Epar Ganga Opar Ganga, portrays the trauma of partition. The way she has done so is unparalleled in the field of Bengali literature. She has portrayed the increase in agony and humiliation of the female mind as a result of the partition in a very vivid way. Our research aims to answer the following questions from this novel by Jyotirmoyee Devi: Firstly, how does the female body get wrapped in the fake attire of sanctitude, thereby losing acceptability in society, and is nearly ostracized? Secondly, how did Jyotirmoyee Devi, through the character Sutara Dutta, portray that the female body becomes a ground for the exhibition of power and thereby becomes a symbol of gender based violence in post-independent India. | ||
