The Partition of Bengal, a part of the great divide brought in through the larger Partition ofIndia in 1947 along with the independence from the colonial British rule dividing the land intotwo nation-states i.e., India and Pakistan led to the bifurcation of the two territories resultingin the divide of the shared spaces, histories and culture. Such memories were brought in bythe waves of migrants with unfathomable experiences of people being killed, raped, mutilatedand disposed of, along with the process of displacement. Here the comfort of food whichacted along with the grasp of memories of one’s belonging to stabilize an aching soul, as it wasamong the minimal items these people could bring. The current paper will mainly focus onthe different methods to equate food and try to look at the bond between food and partitionand the several actions associated with the changes in these everyday practices through criticallyapproaching the novel Victory Colony 1950 (2020) by Bhaswati Ghosh. After years ofcolonization and a fixed cultural legacy, the sudden shift imposed a state of trauma and utterdiscomfort of rootlessness. How does food stabilize a refugee soul by locating one to theirregion through nostalgia and also irritate through the longing for the native space of past existence?How does the material existence of food help to give life to an imaginary space? Howdoes food act politically to help maintain one’s subjective identity even after drastic changes andmovements in livelihood, belonging and national identity and thus also empower the resistanceagainst generalization? These are among the questions intended to be dealt with. This paperhypothesizes that food acts as an active force through its changes and adaptations that bringforward a cultural space through the assimilation of the past within the present along with thenarratives of resilience.
