Description

Mano Majra is a place, Khushwant Singh tells us at the beginning of this classic novel, where Sikhs and Muslims have lived together in peace for hundreds of years.

Then one day, at the end of the summer, the 'ghost train' arrives, a silent, incredible funeral train loaded with the bodies of thousands of refuges, bringing the village its first taste of the horrors of the civil war.

Train to Pakistan is the story of this isolated village that is plunged into the abyss of religious hate.

It is also the story of a Sikh boy and a Muslim girl whose love endures and transcends the ravages of war. Regarded as one of the most heart-rending testimonials of the partition of 1947, the Train to Pakistan is an ideal novel for those who wishes to learn more about India's past and is looking for more than the socio-political scenario behind the partition.
