The writer conclude that the definition of sociology of literature is the study of the relationship between literary and sociology, including sociology of the society, sociology of the author and the sociology of the reader.

The writer is going to analyze partition’s movie based on the sociology of literature, especially based on culture of Indian. The writer takes sociology of literature to analyze partition’s movies especially in the Indian cultural because partition’s movie shows many cultural of people in India. Cultural is one of the aspects in the sociology of literature, the writers want to know the most visible of Indian cultural in the partition movie.

Based on the background study, the writer formulates the following problem is “what does the most visible of Indian cultural based on Partition’s movie?”.

Analysis and Discussion

In 1947, India got a freedom to escape from British rule. To avoid a civil conflict, India is divided into two parts, which are placed Islam in Pakistan and the rest in India. Partition is a movie inspired by the partition which occurred in India. This movie tells about people who also live in India and they have cultural aspects like traditions, food, people's lives, and religion.

First, wearing traditional clothing is one of the traditions in India. In this movie Gian's mother and her neighbors dressed in the form of a draped fabric and it is called Sari. While the men wear “Kurta”, it likes pajamas, then trousers, shirt and wearing a turban on the head like that worn by Gian and Avtar. So, the cultural of wearing traditional clothes in India is seen as a strong culture within the movie.

Second, rice and foods which flavored by spices are the characteristic of food in India. In Partition movie we can see when Gian came to the market to buy rice, there are a lot of spices are sold in those markets. Rice and wheat are the staple food in India, while the use of spices in cooking is characteristic of India. In partition’s movie, staple foods or special food sometime shown but not too prominent.

Third, India always celebrated the holidays, many holidays which Indian have. Holi is one holiday in India, where people dancing with the accompanied by music and they were throwing colored powder or colored water as did Nasheem and others. In the partition’s movie, people of Sikhs celebrated Holi, can be seen clearly when Nasheem and her friend dancing with color powder scattered. So, culture of festivals is extremely visible in partition’s movie although it only once.

Fourth, people's lives in India generally work as a farmer, breeder. They greatly appreciate the traditions that they have such as wearing traditional clothes, celebrating the holiday and their religion. Their trust of ancestor was still strong that their hostility still exists, for example Sikhs were at enmity with Islam in Pakistan and they killed each others. In Partition movie, commonly people in India also worked as farmers, breeders, and s. So it can be said that the livelihoods of India in partition movie was evident.

Sikhism is one of the religions which believed by Indians but the majority of the Indian’s religion are Hindu. Hostility between Sikhs in India and Muslim in Pakistan is an ancestral tradition. In partition’s movie, people like Nasheem was Muslim, her neighbors and her father was killed by Sikhs people when they have a trip, the opposite is Sikhs were killed in the train after they came from Pakistan. Gian, his mother and his neighbors are Sikhs; they do not like it if there are Muslims who lived in Sikh (as a result of hostilities ancestors). Instead of Muslims in Pakistan do not like it if there are Sikhs who lived there, when Gian want to go to Pakistan, he should change his religion to Islam, so Gian moved to be Muslim. Even, when Nasheem live in the middle of a Sikh she also almost killed, the grudge between Sikhs and Muslim in India is very visible in the partition’s movie, even it is the most prominent. Love story between Nasheem and Gian was apart because Nasheem’s family did not like the Sikhs, it was conflict which resulted of hostilities ancestors. So it can be said that the most prominent of culture or tradition in India based on partition’s movie is hostility between Indian Sikhs and Muslim in Pakistan.

Conclusion

Based on the analysis and discussion of the author in partition’s movie, it can be seen that culture in India still very strong. The culture and tradition have a high regard in that State. In partition’s movie it was seen that the culture of Indian is very prominent, as the evidence in partition’s movie that is people who use traditional clothes such as "Sari" and “Kurta”, the staple food and their special foodwhich cooked with spices, then most of people who work as farmer, breeders, then the enmity between Sikhs and the culture of Muslim is the most prominent in partition’s movie because it is a tradition of their ancestors that very strong and many conflict which happenede caused of  their enmity. So, it can be concluded that the culture or traditions which are very prominent in India based on partition’s movie is the enmity between Sikhs in India and Muslim in Pakistan.
