Abstract: | This research explores the feminist reconstruction of memory in the Meenakshie Verma'sAftermath,an oral history of violence. In 1947 British India was divided into India and Pakistan. Millions of people were killed and displaced in partition. Many women got physical and psychological torture in the partition violence but the national history of post-partition neglected these facts. The historians did not include the memories of the partition victims. This research claims that Aftermath tries to question the mainstream representation of the partition violence. It reconstructs the memories from the feminist point of view to write about the real trauma of women and war victims and to rewrite the partition history as more inclusive and whole. |
