Partition literature is a complex portrayal of the tragedy of Partition, a difficult moment in Indian history. It combines history, conflict studies, border studies and politics. In Partition literature, the multi-layered dynamics of India's partition are remembered and explored from various perspectives, including its political but also its metaphoric and symbolic significance and implications. Its ultimate purpose is to go beyond and refute the state's homogenised, one-dimensional narrative of India's Partition when necessary.

The severe problem of India and Pakistan's division has always been a long and permanent anguish for both countries inhabitants.

For the populations of both countries, the partition of India and Pakistan was a never-ending agony. On the surface, only boundaries were divided but in reality, hearts were divided and the two cultures were divided as well. Thus, despite achieving long-awaited independence after much pain and effort, 1947 proved to be a year of less joy and more sadness.
