Memory, Identity and Resistance: An Analogical Reading of The Skeleton and The River Churning: A Partition Novel

Abstract

This paper has looked back and taken two contemporary texts written on the context of Partition to fathom the parity of themes and familiarities.  The two novels The Skeleton and The River Churning: A Partition Novel are evaluated objectively to find out the thematic similarity.  The parallel worlds of two dislocated girls and their struggle against the odds have merged together.  The saga of carnage, revulsion, and trauma do not have any particular language, the authors portrayed a rendition which shows that violence has no language nor boundaries.  The woman characters and their narrative of the separation, their experiences of holocaust is captured throughfeminist perspective.
