Author Profile
Bharati Mukherjee was born to an upper-caste Bengali family and received an English education. The most important event of her life occurred in her early twenties, when she received a scholarship to attend the University of Iowa’s Writer’s Workshop. Her fiction reflects the experimental techniques fostered at such influential creative writing schools.
At the University of Iowa, Mukherjee met Clark Blaise, a Canadian citizen and fellow student. When they moved to Canada she became painfully aware of her status as a nonwhite immigrant in a nation less tolerant of newcomers than the United States. The repeated humiliations she endured made her hypersensitive to the plight of immigrants from the Third World. She realized that immigrants may lose their old identities but not be able to find new identities as often unwelcome strangers.
Mukherjee, relying on her experience growing up, sought her salvation in education. She obtained a Ph.D. in English and Comparative Literature and moved up the career ladder at various colleges and universities in the East and Midwest until she became a professor at Berkeley in 1989. Her first novel, The Tiger’s Daughter, was published in 1972. In common with all her fiction, it deals with the feelings of exile and identity confusion that are experienced by immigrants. Being female as well as an immigrant, Mukherjee noted that opportunities for women were so different in America that she was exhilarated and bewildered. Many of her best stories, dealing with women experiencing gender crises, have a strong autobiographical element.
Darkness, her first collection of stories, was well reviewed, but not until the publication of The Middleman and Other Stories did she become internationally prominent. Critics have recognized that she is dealing with perhaps the most important contemporary phenomenon, the population explosion and flood of immigrants from have-not nations. Mukherjee makes these newcomers understandable to themselves and to native citizens, while shedding light on the identity problems of all the anonymous, inarticulate immigran ...

India, the ancient land known as the torchbearer of peace, spirituality and humanism became
testimony to one of the ghastliest and flabbergasting acts ever committed in the history of
mankind. Her own offspring who had lived as a single unit were suddenly bifurcated on
communal lines due to political vendetta. Many authors have incorporated the trauma and
sufferings during the partition. Khushwant Singh and Bapsi Sidhwa are distinguished
signatures in the arena of English literature who have published novels based on the theme of
partition. They have portrayed the traumatic picture of that time making us to feel the pain of
humanity. Thus the present paper focuses upon the literature of partition with special
reference to the trauma in the writings of Khushwant Singh and Bapsi Sidhwa.
India drank the sweet nectar of freedom from the foreign yoke of British Raj but with a heavy
price. The ancient land whose civilisation had stood against the test of time was bifurcated
into two parts- India and Pakistan. The biggest exodus of people ever in the history of
humankind took place from one part to another. A state of religious frenzy and bigotry spread
in the entire Indian subcontinent. People became worse than beasts ever ready to slaughter
fellow beings in the name of religion. The single most affected victim was humanity which
was torn into pieces by its own children. All hell broke loose when people in both nations
were killed just due to their religious affiliations. A plethora of literature is produced on this
subject particularly from the authors of India, Pakistan and Bangladesh. The trauma and
agony experienced by people has found its voice in the literature of partition by many notable
and distinguished authors. Poet Faiz Ahmad Faiz lamented, „This stain covered daybreak,
this night bitten dawn. This dawn is not that dawn we craved for‘. Muslims migrated to
Pakistan and Hindus to India leaving back their ancestral homes, tradition and culture to
become refugees in a distant land just in the name of fanaticism. Bigotry spew its venom
particularly on women who were assaulted, sexually abused and tortured if they were found
to be of different religion.
The tragedy of partition has given way to literature in almost all languages of the Indian sub-
continent particularly Hindi, English, Urdu, Bengali and other vernacular languages. A
common element in all these pieces of literature is pathos. It is different from historical
account as it embodies the human suffering and pain due to partition. Authors such as
Krishna Chander, Rajinder Singh Bedi, Amrita Pritam, Saddat Hasan Manto, K.S. Duggal,
Nanak Singh and others have revolved their prose on the subject of partition. Khushwant
Singh‟s ‗ Train to Pakistan „, Bapsi Sidhwa‟s ‗Ice Candy Man‘ and ‗Bride‘, Salman
Rushdie‟s ‗Midnight‘s Children‘, K.A. Abbas‟ ‗Inquilab‘ in English, Bhishma Sahani‟s
„Tamas‘ and Yashpal‟s „Jhoota Sach‘ in Hindi.
Almost everyone is doing well..
