Author : Sailee Ashok Tingote and Dr. Manisha Bhise

Abstract :

This research paper deals with partition the trauma of India and Pakistan. One of the most important and painful moments in South Asian history was the 1947 Partition of India. On August 15, 1947, it resulted in the independence of India and Pakistan. Massive communal bloodshed, large-scale migration, and profound political and social upheaval all followed the divide. Authors of Indian descent witnessed the suffering of people during the division of India and Pakistan and were forced to make a decision. Their writings recall the trauma of the downtrodden during a period of helplessness and are replete with conservative winds that resist. The Ministry of utmost happiness is the second novel of Arundhati Roy which published in 2017 after God of Small things. She has explored darkest and violent side in the Ministry of utmost Happiness novel.
