The trope of the woman's body as metaphor for the nation is one that is replayed throughout both colonial and postcolonial literatures dealing with political, ethnic or religious battles, indeed almost any conflict that involves the violent encounter of two or more defined groups, especially if that conflict is waged over the territory of a "Motherland." In the novels Cracking India by Bapsi Sidhwa and What the Body Remembers by Shauna Singh Baldwin, the authors attempt to recuperate voices of women who experienced the violence of the Partition of India and tell their stories.

520 $a The trope of the woman's body as metaphor for the nation is one that is replayed throughout both colonial and postcolonial literatures dealing with political, ethnic or religious battles, indeed almost any conflict that involves the violent encounter of two or more defined groups, especially if that conflict is waged over the territory of a "Motherland." In the novels Cracking India by Bapsi Sidhwa and What the Body Remembers by Shauna Singh Baldwin, the authors attempt to recuperate voices of women who experienced the violence of the Partition of India and tell their stories.
520 $a Ideas of space, the regulation and negotiation thereof, and the regulatory gaze borrowed from the fields feminist geography, postcolonialism and feminism, are used as a framework in order to examine the manner in which female characters in the novels negotiate their positions within their societies and how these negotiations change with the heavy religious signification that becomes important during the months leading up to and during Partition. As women's bodies begin to stand in for nation and future generations of their religious and ethnic groups, the boundaries of their bodies and their homes become as contested as those of the splitting nation. Many of the female characters in these novels are border-dwellers, neither fully a part of nor apart from the political, ethnic and religious battles that become violently inscribed on and in their bodies by men on all sides of the conflict. While both Baldwin and Sidhwa recognize the need to find the voices of women's experiences of Partition, both try to work through the difficulty of representing the traumatic events of Partition without reducing their experiences to trite metaphor.
