Bapsi Sidhwa’s *Ice-Candy-Man* presents a powerful portrayal of women’s experiences during the Partition of India, highlighting their suffering, resilience, and struggle against patriarchal and communal violence. Through its central women characters, especially Lenny, Ayah, and Godmother, the novel explores the themes of oppression, survival, and resistance. Sidhwa challenges traditional representations of women by showing them not merely as victims of historical events but as individuals who negotiate, resist, and assert their identities within oppressive social structures.
