Abstract (Original Language): 
Partition of India has been interpreted in various ways by various litterateurs. Some use the Marxist paradigm for interpreting reality; others depended on their personal vision; some used satire and highly critical language to comment on the bitter aspects of socio-political reality before and after partition. Bhisham Sahnis Tamas (1974) is 'an intellectual anatomy of the partition.' It studied the structure and dynamics of the event and the then existing society by combining all the three above mentioned literary traits, certainly with Marxist overtones.
