Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay, a prominent Bengali writer, lived in the 19th century (1838–1894). He wrote extensively on various themes but passed away decades before the Partition of India in 1947. Therefore, he could not have written about Partition in his works.

The other writers listed are known for their works dealing with the Partition of India. Saadat Hasan Manto (Urdu) is famous for his short stories on Partition horrors. Bhisham Sahni (Hindi) wrote the acclaimed novel ‘Tamas’ on Partition. Narendranath Mitra (Bengali) also depicted the trauma of Partition in his writings.

Saadat Hasan Manto’s short stories like ‘Toba Tek Singh’, ‘Khol Do’, ‘Thanda Gosht’ are powerful narratives on Partition. Bhisham Sahni’s ‘Tamas’ is a seminal work on the communal violence during Partition. Narendranath Mitra’s works, such as ‘Mahanagar’ (later adapted into a film by Satyajit Ray), often reflected the social changes and dislocations, including those related to Partition and its aftermath. Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay’s most famous works include ‘Anandamath’ and ‘Durgeshnandini’.
