Abstract

Podjela Indije na Indiju i Pakistan ostavila je traga u indijskoj povijesti kao ni jedan raniji događaj.
Zbog novih granica koje je odredila i ucrtala britanska administracija, na čelu sa sucem Cyrilom Radcliffom, stanovnicima Indije nije donijela toliko željenu slobodu, već traumu zbog izbjeglištva i nasilja. Ono što se činilo smislenim – podijeliti teritorij na dvije države – hinduističku i muslimansku, pretvorilo se u jedno od najokrutnijih događaja u novijoj svijetskoj povijesti.
U ovom radu, autorica osim što čini povijesni pregled događaja koji su prethodili društvenim nemirima, kroz djela autora koji pripadaju trima religijama koje su stradavale u nemirima za vrijeme i nakon podjele, pokušava pronaći krivca za proživljenu traumu.
Uspoređujući djela troje autora različitih religijskih pripadnosti, a koji su preživjeli proces podjele ili ga barem nose u sebi kao osobnu obiteljsku baštinu, autorica traži tri različite percepcije istog događaja.

Abstract (english)

The Partition of India on India and Pakistan left a mark on Indian history like no other earlier event.
New boreders, that were decided and drawn by the British administration, headed by a judge Cyril Radcliffe, to the habitants of India did not brought so much wanted freedom, but a trauma of displacement and violence. The only thing that was logical – to partition the teritory to two states – Hindu and Muslim states, became one of the most cruel events in newer world history.
In this thesis, author in addition of writing a short historical review of the events that preceded the communal riots, tries to find the guilty party for the trauma experinced trough the work of authors that belong to three religions that suffered the most in the communal riots during and after the Partition.
By comparing the work of three authors of different religious affiliations, who survived the process of Partition or carry it in themselves as a personal family heritage, the author of this thesis seeks three different perceptions of the same event.
