Urvashi Butalia in her book, The Other Side of Silence, attempts to analyze the division in Indian society, through an oral history of Indian experiences. Collecting the traumatic events of the people who lived through the Partition provides insight into how history has shrouded these silences decades later. Furthermore, the 1947 film Earth reveals the bitterness of the partition and its violent effect on some characters. The most intriguing character who clarifies the silence of the partition is the child, Lenny. Lenny in particular, the story's narrator, serves as a medium for the intangibility created by the partition. Being the intangibility of love and violence, how can people who grew up together to love each other hate each other in the midst of religion? This question is best depicted through the innocence of a child, Lenny. Through her interactions with her friends, the doll, and Lahore Park, we see silence clarified as the comfort of not knowing, or the pain of separating comfort and silence from an unspoken truth. The uncivilized character of Indian men displayed a violence that has now turned to the silences that many of them reluctantly endure years later. The topic of Indian partition is a controversial topic, it was a time when women were symbolized as national subjects and had to face the horrific procuring of a religious catastrophe. The confusion that comes from not understanding such mental error is the silence that is best depicted through the children in the 1947 film Earth. It is the battle that Lenny and the writer Butalia face, as Butalia paints a vivid picture of silence through her oral history , The Other Side of Silence. Butalia recounts the silence that lies in an interviewee's memory, as he recounts, “'I can't…half of the paper…shown through Lenny's point of view. Before partition, Lahore was a place of tolerance that enjoyed a secular state. The tension before the partition suggested that the partition of India was imminent and that this would result in a religious partition. 1947 was a year marked by human convulsion, as 1 million people died as a result of the partition. Furthermore, the children of Lahore clarify the silences that Butalia seeks in her novel. The silence of the survivors is rooted in the very nature of the partition; there is no clear distinction as to who the antagonists were. The distinction is ambiguous, the victims were Sikhs, Hindus and Muslims, and what's more these groups were the aggressors, the violent ones. The minority in this communal violence among these groups was the one outnumbered. This epiphany of guilt is undertaken in silence and has its roots in the embodiment of violence.
