Violence constitutes one of the most obvious images of this traumatic period in Indian history. Its dynamics of representationthe nature of violence, its impact on society and the individual, the forms of its socio cultural and political implantinginvariably highlight the aesthetic sensibility of its writers.

The experiences of suffering, pain, trauma, affliction, torture, fear and betrayal are also constituted within the structural analysis of violence.
