Abstract: | Pinjar depicts violence done upon women at the time of the Partition of India in 1947. During the time of Partition, women were doubly victimized; they became victims of both the riots and the patriarchy. Though independence freed India, the partition that accosted it made women vulnerable. They were used for masculine power and were just turned into mere objects. The film Pinjar implicates the patriarchy to the gendered violence perpetrated through the life of its protagonist, Puro-turned-Hamida. |
