Partition Narratives reveal the trauma undergone by the people in the troubled
regions. e su?erings of the people have remained in the memories of the affected
individuals. Consequentially, the memories of traumatic experiences have
taken the shape of Partition narratives. e oeuvre of Saadat Hasan Manto focuses
on the hypocrisy and absurdity of violence during the period. His popular
short stories like Toba Tek Singh, e Dog of Titwal, e Price of Freedom,
Colder than Ice, Khol Do, Sorry, reveal the ironies of life through traumatic
experiences of the people. Manto adheres to a higher degree of realism to bring
out the miseries of the people irrespective of religious identities. e proposed
paper attempts to bring out the nature of trauma and su?erings of a new class of
citizens called ‘Refugees’ with reference to the select short stories.
