"Azadi" by Chaman Nahal is a striking and unapologetic depiction of sexual assault during India's partition. It is a kind of the harsh reality experienced by women, the psychological and societal effects of sexual abuse, and the patriarchal systems that support this suffering via its nuanced and compassionate characterisations. It offers a graphic account of the 1947 Indian partition, which was characterised by hitherto unseen levels of bloodshed, widespread uprooting, and extreme human misery. It Unprecedented levels of violence, displacement, and misery resulted from this historical juncture, especially for women. The work offers a prism through which to view the complex nature of women's suffering during this turbulent time, thanks to its moving storytelling and striking character depictions.
