Anatomy of communal violence: a study of Bhisham Sahni's tamas Pal Virender* *G. N. Khalsa College, Yamuna Nagar, Haryana, India Online published on 21 September, 2017. Abstract The violence that erupted during the partition was probably the worst seen by the mankind. But the violence that started with the partition has not ended with it; rather India has witnessed many communal riots in the post-independence history. The current paper studies how the partition novel like Tamas can be read to understand the nature of communal violence and how the society can be insulatedfrom it. Tamas not only studies the reasons behind communal violence, but also the anatomy of communal riots. The novel offers a peep into the eruption of communal violence and the role of various agencies played in it. The novel also delivers a stern warning that a man becomes a devil under the influence of communalism, so we should take stern measures to stop the eruption of communal violence.
