The effects of the Partition can be seen not just in the mass massacres and displacement in huge numbers, but also in the alienation of human beings, which conjures the feeling of homelessness and detachment. Dibyendu Palit's "Alam's Own House" functions as a quintessential Partition text, profoundly exploring themes of memory, rootlessness, nostalgia, and identity in the wake of the Partition of Bengal.
