Abstract: Indian writings in English, a product of the clash between Indian and the Western cultures, have evolved to a great extent in the post-colonial era. The partition of India, also known as the “Great Divide”, has been depicted by many creative minds through novels, dramas and films. “Train To Pakistan” and “Azadi” are two such novels which depict the effect of the event on the individuals. The effect was manifold and the people had to face unprecedented problems like displacement, abduction of their womenfolk, atrocities and loss of near and dear ones. As an Indian trauma, the partition has been described as a massive human tragedy by both Khushwant Singh and Chaman Nahal. In fact, the incidents which took place as a result of the partition keep on affecting the relationship of India and Pakistan even today. Both the countries are mutually suspicious and the danger of nuclear war is not out of question.

Key words: Partition, Displacement, Abduction, Trauma, Refugees, Victims, Aftermath.
