Abstract
The theme of Partition continues to dominate the field of creativity in different Indian languages. English stands no exception to it. Some famous Indian writers have presented the theme of partition with minutest detail in their fictional works. If we look into Indian history we will find that the term Indian Communalism is rooted psychologically and historically in the Indian Sub- continent population. Like any other movements, the modern Indian communalism has its phases, they are three fold : the first covering the period before partition; the second, the period around partition, and the third, the period after partition. This paper mainly focuses on the literature of the third phase which recorded the aftermath of the partition.
