Book Description
In Train to Pakistan, truth meets fiction with stunning impact, as Khushwant Singh recounts the trauma and tragedy of Partition through the stories of his characters—stories that he, his family and friends themselves experienced or saw enacted before their eyes.
A bestseller when it was first published in 1956, Train to Pakistan is now widely accepted as one of the classics of modern Indian fiction.
In the summer of 1947, the frontier between India and its newly-created neighbour, Pakistan, has become a river of blood, as the post-Partition exodus across the border erupts into violent rioting.
Suspicion falls upon Jugga, the village gangster, who is carrying on a clandestine affair with a Muslim girl.
Then a train comes to an unscheduled stop, and the villagers discover it is full of dead Sikhs. A few days later, the same thing happens again. Mano Majra turns into a battlefield of conflicting loyalties, which none can control
