Authors

Abstract
Partition, stands for the vivisection of the Indian Sub-continent into two different countries named India and Pakistan, in 1947. The partition of the Indian sub-continent is an event of such a great magnitude and significance that it had political, social, cultural, religious, economic and humanitarian repercussions not only on the sub-continent and its people but also on the equations that impact global politics. Partition may be seen as a severely destructive event in the history of twentieth century India. Contemporary culture, literature and history bear such a profound impact of partition that affected people and their families still struggle to outlive the traumatic memories and their aftermath. The partition of India apart from the vivisection of the sub-continent also created a kind of irremediable cataclysm for millions of people, the pictures of which are embossed in their memories in such a manner that they catalyze frequently apocalyptical events even today. Azadi by Chaman Nahal is a seminal work in Indian literature, offering a profound exploration of the Partition of India and its far-reaching effects on individual lives and communal dynamics. The novel presents a compelling narrative that captures the turbulence and tragedy of the period. This paper is an attempt to highlight the inexplicable sufferings of those refugees during the time of partition.
