Description
Train to Pakistan by Khushwant Singh tells the story of a remote village in northern India that is plunged into chaos when a silent funeral train arrives, bringing with it the horrors of civil war. This powerful novel explores the devastating effects of religious hate and the enduring power of love. In the summer of 1947, as the creation of Pakistan was announced, millions were forced to flee their homes, leaving behind a trail of death and destruction. The village of Mano Majra, where Sikhs and Muslims had lived in harmony for centuries, is one such place. As the monsoon breaks, the villagers are faced with an unimaginable tragedy that will change their lives forever. Against this backdrop of violence and fear, a young Sikh boy and a Muslim girl find love and hope in each other, a beacon of light in a world torn apart by hatred and intolerance.
