This is a deep rooted attitude behind years of prejudice between both the communities.The collective sensibility of one community has affected the other. The available history of partition discussesmainly the political issues or is marked with patriotic bias. For the historians, it has been a constitutional or politicalarrangement which does not affect the contours of Indian society. If seen from the perspective of survivors, thehistory of partition appears very different. It is all violence for them. This difference leads to a wide chasm betweenhistory and the account in form of oral history in particular about partition; its pain and silence. On one hand wherenations can insulate them behind national interests and agendas, the communities that faced partition have to livewith painful memories and moments of violence they faced. Urvashi Bhutalia in her The Other Side of Silence andRitu Menon in her Borders and Boundaries narrates the inhuman experiences of women migrants and trauma facedby survivors. Women in their short stories speak for themselves, without any restrictions or depending on any criticor historian to interpret their pain, about the violence they faced by strangers as well as their near and dear ones.They were subjected to rape and abduction, given no choice of repatriation, were forced to abort or abandonchildren fathered by their abductors. They struggled to put their life together in state of loss of identity andbelongingness. The paper tries to investigate the link between community, caste, gender with violence at the time ofpartition. It deals with the ＂memory＂ that steps in when history fails to address the issue of dislocation. It discusseswomen＇s unspeakable horrifying experiences, their painful truth and their silence that is still in the process ofhealing and forgetting.展开更多

Woman is still the other of this Church-State totalism, outside. The event is extremely small but the symbolism enormous of an intrinsic lack and its insane compensations. Philosopher Zi^ek sees the significance of what Pussy Riot represent for contemporary global capitalism, represented by the American dollar and Wall Street. Performer Madonna sees the difference between America, where she has been able to express herself and says that anyone can, and other parts of the world, namely Russia, where this is not possible. Although Edward Snowdon found sanctuary in Russia from America, so perhaps Zizek is right.展开更多
The Urumqi riot has damaged the local economy and social development more than the global financial crisis has, said Abudu Rezhake Tomur, Secretary of the Communist Party of China in the Xinjiang Social Science Academy.
The separatist World Uyghur Congress led by Rebiya Kadeer was behind the deadly July 5 Urumqi riot, in which more than 190 people died and more than 1,000 were injured, sources with the government said.
Nearly two weeks after the July 5 riot in Urumqi of northwest China＇s Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, social order and people＇s lives are returning to normal.

Many countries around the world said the July 5 riot in northwest China is an internal affair of the country, and the Chinese government is handling the incident properly.
The real purpose of the July 5 rioters in Urumqi, capital of northwest China＇s Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, was seeking ＂Xin-jiang＇s independence,＂ an official said in Beijing on July 21.
More than 60 overseas media have sent journalists to Urumqi,capital of northwest China＇s Xinjiang region, after a riot broke out in the city Sunday, leaving 156 people dead and 1,080 others injured.
