The paper is a selection of thematic representation in the short stories of Saadat Hasan Manto which reflects the agony of victimized, unvocalized or unnoticed psychical pain of oppressed women who were dually biased. The paper explores the cross-section of psychic agony and gendered violence as represented through the lived experiences of women in the context of historical and metaphorical partition. It claims that the silence of these oppressed women provides a stimulation that they were biased thrice in their lives. Due to the abduction, molestation, subjection, unwanted recovery, rejection and marginalization made them biased thrice from the society. Using a multidisciplinary framework, the study sheds light on how women become both the symbols of national trauma and the agents of resistance and strongly argues that the psychic scars of partition are profoundly gendered, demanding an urgent reevaluation of women’s roles in forging and narrating histories of pain and recovery.
