Partition: A Dehumanizing Episode in the Lives of Refugees

Abstract

This paper tries to explore the events of life the refugees had gone through during partition. For the study some great short stories regarding partition have been analyzed to support the argument how refugees suffered and how miserable and inhuman behaviour they have faced during partition. The partition was a restless and chaotic event in the history of the sub-continent. The partition wrenched people away from the land of their birth, the death of their ancestors, and their present life. Only for survival, people moved to safer places where they could be surrounded by people of their own religion and nation. In moving towards the people of their own kind, safety and survival were of primary significance. Nation and Religion were expected to give support, security, and safety to the refugees, who crossed the borders. The Refugees found themselves in severe economic difficulties. They lost everything, which was theirs. They reached safer places with only clothes on them with empty pockets. Their displacement and dispossession were the causes of their economic difficulties and destitution.

Keywords: Partition, Refugees, Survive, inhuman, Sufferings, Politics, Community.

Partition Time -- Violence

The partition time was somehow more difficult and terrible than all the previous and later times. It was a time of hatred, vengeance, violence, bestiality, brutality, death, destruction, dislocation, and defilement. Stability and peace could not be seen anywhere in the country. One of the striking characteristics of the time was that it was overpowered by inhumanity. Despair, sense of shattered existence, nothingness, and meaninglessness spread everywhere. The noble qualities of compassion and concern disappeared.
