Abstract
The most tragic and heart-rending event in the history of the Indian subcontinent was the Partition of India. There is no other historical event in the subcontinent that the people and the writers experienced as remarkable and devastating as the partition of India. No one likes to think about the tragic and sad historical event that was the division of India into India and Pakistan.. It was the first time in the history of the world that a nation was divided up on the basis of religion, the event was unmatched in its scope and significance. This division mars peace and togetherness between India and Pakistan, the division served to intensify hatred between the two countries. Hostility between Muslims and Hindus is becoming increasingly severe in modern times. The Partition of India is often regarded as the worst chapter in the annals of subcontinental history, and it has made an indelible mark on the annals of Indian history. In their writings, a multitude of authors has endeavoured to convey as accurately as possible the agony that is caused by separation. After the separation, people who had been friends, neighbours, and protectors of one another, were branded as Hindus, Muslims, Sikhs, or Christians and became merciless against one another. They showed no regard for their elders or women, and they had no compassion for the young ones in their care. A large number of authors from the Indian subcontinent came up with the concept of "Partition Literature" to portray the people who, in the name of religion, were responsible for the deaths of millions of people. This study's objective is to analyse the political and religious motives that led to the disastrous occurrence of division to better understand what caused it. Keywords - Partition Literature, Politics, Violence, Migration, Riots, Communalism and Destruction.
