Resumen

Cracking India (1991), considerada como la novela más destacable de la escritora pakistaní-estadounidense de ascendencia parsi Bapsi Sidhwa, se centra en el acontecimiento histórico de la Partición que tuvo lugar en 1947, que dividió el subcontinente indio en los países de India y Pakistán. La trama es sustancialmente ginocéntrica y relata los horrores de este conflicto territorial, político y social y de cómo las mujeres fueron cosificadas no solo desde una perspectiva sexual, sino también como trofeos de poder y humillación ante el enemigo. El objetivo de este artículo es explorar los conceptos de vergüenza y culpa en las relaciones de poder aplicando la teoría de los afectos desde una perspectiva de género.
