dc.description.abstractPartition of India was the great historical event in 1947. Partition affected the millions of people and changed the whole scenario of the sub-continent. Women were most affected in partition era. Feminism as a movement explores the suppressing status of women in the Patriarchal society. In the domain of patriarchal culture, woman is a social construct. Feminism is a highly innovative concept representing a significant departure from the traditional mode of critical evaluation. The present study tries to investigate the portrayal of the partition by the two writers from India and Pakistan Bapsi Sidhwa and Amrita Pritam with their novels, Ice Candy Man and Pinjar . In these novels both the writers represents the series of female characters who have survived in the chaotic time of 1947. They project realistically the women's plight and exploitation in the patriarchal society. It explores how men establish their masculine power and fulfil their desire by assaulting women. Through the feminism theory, the present study has tried to locate the identity of women which changes in partition and their actual identity is broken down and they have to create a new identity which mostly forced on them.en_US
