http://rrjournals.com/index.php/rrijm <p>RESEARCH REVIEW International Journal of Multidisciplinary (RRIJM) is an international Double-blind peer-reviewed [refereed] open access online journal. Too often a journal’s decision to publish a paper is dominated by what the editor/s think is interesting and will gain greater readership-both of which are subjective judgments and lead to decisions which are frustrating and delay the publication of your work. RRIJM will rigorously peer-review your submissions and publish all papers that are judged to be technically sound. Judgments about the importance of any particular paper are then made after publication by the readership (who are the most qualified to determine what is of interest to them).</p> <p>Most conventional journals publish papers from tightly defined subject areas, making it more difficult for readers from other disciplines to read them. RRIJM has no such barriers, which helps your research reach the entire scientific community.</p> <ul> <li><strong>Journal Start Year: </strong>January-2016</li> <li><strong>Title: </strong>RESEARCH REVIEW International Multidisciplinary Research Journal</li> <li>ISSN: <strong>2455-3085 (Online)</strong></li> <li><strong>Impact Factor: 6.93</strong></li> <li>Crossref DOI: <a href="https://doi.org/10.31305/rrijm"><strong>10.31305/rrijm</strong></a></li> <li>Frequency of Publication: <strong>Monthly</strong> [12 issues per year]</li> <li>Languages: <strong>English/Hindi/Gujarat</strong> [Multiple Languages]</li> <li>Accessibility: <strong>Open Access</strong></li> <li><strong>Peer Review Process: </strong>Double Blind Peer Review Process</li> <li><strong>Subject: </strong>Multidisciplinary</li> <li><strong>Plagiarism Checker: </strong>Turnitin (License)</li> <li><strong>Publication Format: </strong>Online</li> <li><strong>Article Acceptance Rate:</strong> 18% to 29%</li> <li><strong>Contact No.: </strong>+91- 99784 40833</li> <li><strong>Email: </strong>editor@rrjournals.com</li> <li><strong>Old Website: <a href="https://old.rrjournals.com/">https://old.rrjournals.com/</a></strong></li> <li><strong>New Website: <a href="https://rrjournals.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://rrjournals.com/ </a></strong></li> <li><strong>Address: </strong>15, Kalyan Nagar, Shahpur, Ahmedabad, Gujarat 380001</li> </ul> <p><strong>Key Features of RRIJM</strong></p> <ul> <li>Journal was listed in <strong>UGC</strong> with <a href="https://www.ugc.ac.in/pdfnews/5283580_UGC-Cancelled-List.pdf"><strong>Journal No. 44945 (Till 14-06-2019)</strong></a></li> <li>Journal Publishes online every month</li> <li>Online article submission</li> <li>Standard peer review process</li> </ul> RR Publication en-US RESEARCH REVIEW International Journal of Multidisciplinary 2455-3085 <p>This is an open access article under the CC BY-NC-ND license<a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/"> Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial 4.0 International (CC BY-NC 4.0).</a></p> http://rrjournals.com/index.php/rrijm/article/view/1935 <p>The Partition of India in 1947 was not merely a political event but a socio-cultural rupture that reshaped identities, histories, and geographies across the subcontinent. Partition novels, as literary responses to this trauma, reflect the profound impact of socio-cultural factors such as religion, nationalism, migration, memory, and communalism. This paper explores how these elements influence the thematic and narrative structure of Partition literature, with a special focus on Amitav Ghosh's <em>The Shadow Lines</em>. Although not a conventional Partition novel, Ghosh’s work offers a complex examination of the lingering effects of Partition through personal memory, transnational identity, and the illusion of borders. The novel critiques the artificiality of national divisions and highlights how communal violence, displacement, and cultural memory continue to shape individual and collective consciousness. Through the lens of socio-cultural analysis, <em>The Shadow Lines</em> emerges as a powerful narrative that interrogates the legacy of Partition and redefines the boundaries of historical fiction.</p> Prakash Anand Purnendu Shankar Copyright (c) 2025 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 2025-04-20 2025-04-20 10 4 01 05 10.31305/rrijm.2025.v10.n4.001
