Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: B
Explanation

The 1947 Partition of India inspired a vast body of literature documenting the trauma of displacement and communal violence [2]. Saadat Hasan Manto is renowned for his Urdu short stories like 'Toba Tek Singh' which capture the absurdity and horror of the event. Bhisham Sahni's seminal novel 'Tamas' (1973) provides a deep analysis of the communal politics and riots surrounding the pre-partition days [1]. Narendranath Mitra was a prominent Bengali writer whose works, such as 'Chenamahal' and 'Jaiba', frequently explored the socio-psychological impact of the Partition on middle-class families. In contrast, Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay (1838–1894) was a 19th-century novelist who died long before the 1947 Partition. His historical novels, such as 'Anandamath', focused on earlier events like the Sanyasi Revolt and the struggle against British rule rather than the 20th-century division of India.
