Abstract
The partition of Indian subcontinent in 1947 was a shaping event which caused one
of the greatest human convulsions of history. The partition of British India and
subsequent creation of two antagonist countries was not just a surgical allegory or
an operation; it was a line of division inside our heads and hearts too. The dark
legacies of partition have thrown a long shadow on the lives of the people of India
and Pakistan. If an elaborate analysis of Partition of India is made then it can safely
be concluded that the miserable plight of women centering round the event of
partition had long been neglected and ignored, though they were the worst victims of
the Partition.
