The devastating 1947 Partition of Bengal caused significant harm to the social, cultural, and psychological fabric of Bengali society. This study examines how the Partition is portrayed in a few preselected Bangla short stories, focusing on themes of violence, displacement, identity, and loss. The research intends to examine how these stories portray the psychological and emotional suffering of the Partition through realism, symbolism, and stream of consciousness through a qualitative examination of linguistic strategies, including Rabindranath Tagore's The Home and the World, Tahmima Anam's The Bones of Grace, and Sunil Ganguly's The Refugee. The results imply that these stories contribute to a broader cultural understanding of the lingering consequences of the Partition in addition to capturing the psychological suffering of the individual and the community. This study concludes a significant difference by considering the value of Bangla short stories as a tool for understanding and attempting to preserve the memories of the Partition.
