The partition of India was a black chapter in the history of India. Many writers have attempted to show the vivid reality of the communal violence, exodus and sufferings of the people of India and Pakistan. This research is an attempt to study the novel ‘Tamas’ written by Bhisham Sahani which shows the anguishes and sorrows of people. It is based on true events of the uprisings of 1947. The title Tamas suggests darkness and death which relates with the atmosphere of that time. The paper will study in detail the communal violence as depicted by Bhisham sahani in his novel Tamas.
