摘要

The 1947 Partition of British India, otherwise simply known as Partition, marked not only the births of Indiaudand Pakistan, but also one of modern history’s largest human mass migrations, in which an estimated millionuddied and thousands of women were subjected to horrifying acts of engendered violence. Scholars, such asudMenon and Bhasin (1998) as well as Butalia (2000), have conceptualised engendered violence during Partitionudas a violation of women’s bodies, sexualities and psyches by men in general, manifested in various formsudranging from abduction and rape to honour killing and bodily mutilations. However, this study is limited toudexamining how honour killing is depicted as a form of such violence in the novel Partitions (2011) by AmitudMajmudar. More importantly, it examines how depictions of the honour killing of women during Partition in theudselected text can also be read as manifestations of the negative underside of the concept of biopowerudconceptualised by Foucault, in which mass death and destruction are necessary to ensure the survival of futureudgenerations. This study reveals, based on textual evidence surrounding the botched honour killing of theudcharacter Simran Kaur, that the honour killing of women during Partition is due to the perception of the time,udplace and society that women, as well as their sexuality, are symbolic constructions of male honour. Thisudsubsequently leads to women being viewed by their own men-folk as threats against the honour of theirudrespective religions and communities in times of communal strife.
