    Description

    Considered a modern Indian classic, this fiction novel captures the tragic reality of the Partition of India.

    Summary of the Book

    The tale begins on a summer of 1947 when the fate of millions is forced to be changed by the Partition of a nation. However, in the Sikhs- and Muslims-populated Mano Majra village, that is located near the Indo-Pak border, the struggle of life is expected to remain the same. Things take a dramatic turn when a local money-lender is killed, the local gangster Juggut Singh is accused, and a train arrives with dead bodies of Sikhs. The village becomes a battleground, and it is on Juggut Singh to bring back peace while redeeming himself.

    Goose-bump inducing

    I read Train to Pakistan years ago, right back when I was in college. I can still never forget the novel, which is undoubtedly one of my favourite Indian novels in English.

    Khushwant Singh is a daring story-teller. He manages to remain one of the few who refrain from much of the linguistic pomp, glamour, and political pretense that dogs Indian English writers.

    His language is simple; his message is startling. The novel is based on the time when India won independence, and when the partition...

    Only Kushwant Singh can write a book like this.

    This is my first purchase from flipkart. I am happy with flipkart's delivery. The packing was extremely good. It reached within three working days, well before the mentioned delivery date. No one can beat flipkart when it comes to the quality of delivery.
    To say about this book, not many authors can write from their heart. Kushwant Singh is one who can do it all the time. The way he explains the nature of each character is breathtaking.
    He has taken extra care to clearly paint our imaginatio...

    Highly recommended

    The crisp and concise size of the book aroused my interest, being an average reader
    But I was glued to the book and kept thinking over about what would happen next when I was away from it.
    In its entirety, the book is a masterpiece of fiction with a great touch of reality as it gives you goosebumps while talking about the horrors of partition
    Must read for everyone!
