Description
Train to Pakistan
By Khushwant Singh
đź“š Genre: Historical Fiction, Indian Literature
A powerful, unflinching story of love, loss, and humanity in the face of division.
Set during the harrowing Partition of India in 1947, Train to Pakistan captures the raw, emotional toll of one of the subcontinent’s most violent and defining moments. In the quiet village of Mano Majra—where Sikhs and Muslims have coexisted peacefully for generations—life is suddenly shattered by a brutal killing and the arrival of a mysterious train carrying only death.
Told through a gripping narrative and unforgettable characters like Juggut Singh, a local gangster, and Iqbal, an educated outsider, this novel explores how ordinary people are pulled into extraordinary, often tragic circumstances.
Khushwant Singh’s debut novel is not just a story of Partition—it’s a timeless reflection on identity, prejudice, and what it means to remain human when the world around you is falling apart.
