Abstract
The paper entitled “The Invisible Borders: A Comparative Study of Ice Candy Man by Bapsi Sidhwa and The Borders And Boundaries by Ritu Menon” highlights the impacts of partition which have been articulated especially by women writers like Urvashi Butalia, Hena Khan, Bapsi Sidhwa and Ritu Menon on the basis of their unique experiences during partition. This event proved to be the most horrible and devastating in human history because of incidents such as burglary, theft-robbery, kidnapping, rape, and murder. People's homes and places were burned, most people were executed, and women and children were assaulted and exposed to their siblings. Since the actors of partition were men, it is considered a male construct. This was why Partition Literature contains most male authors like Kushwant Singh, Amitav Ghosh, Manto, and Intzaar Hussain. Sidhwa's Ice Candy Man and Menon's Borders and Boundaries weave together the idea of freedom by juxtaposing social and political, past and present in diverse contexts. This study will help to give an insight into communal hatred, and gender discrimination in the patriarchal society during the partition of India and Pakistan.
