Naz. Zarger, Nafisa Zargar
Abstract :
This paper aims to convey to its readers the distressing and horrible conditions of women during the partition of India which resulted into the hostility between Hindus and Muslims, who started slaughtering, murdering and abandoning each others. How revenge from other community was not only based on killing their men but raping their women provided greater satisfaction. The guardians became sexual predators and mercy, pity were replaced by lust, rapes. Manto’s spine chilling minute details of the carnage with the choice of words which has always been criticized for obscenity and sexual overtones makes the readers not only to feel the pain, utality and inhumane treatment meted out to those women but also to feel ashamed, embarrassed at the extent of human degradation during that time.
