Beyond Borders: Social trauma and memory of Partition
Authors
Dr. Anita Sharma
Abstract
The Partition of India in 1947 was not only a
geopolitical event but an immense human tragedy that reshaped the emotional and
psychological landscapes of millions. This paper explores how the trauma of
displacement, violence, gendered suffering, and the rupture of local worlds has
been remembered, narrated, and transmitted across generations. It examines oral
histories, literature, personal testimonies, and cultural memory to understand
how communities continue to preserve and reinterpret the memory of Partition.
The study highlights the enduring nature of trauma—how it transcends borders,
time, and political narratives.
