With Partitions photographs, Time Life 1947
The fact is both killed. Both shot and stabbed and speared and clubbed. Both tortured. Both raped. By the summer of 1947 teh million people Muslims-Hindus and Sikhs were in fight. Almost a million of them were dead.
This new incarnation has given the book what the author happily calls a new lease of life.
Babies were born along the way.People died along the way Many of the simply dropped out of line sheer weariness.Sometimes I saw children pulling at he arms and hans of a parent or grandparents, unable to comprehend those arms would never be able to carry the again.
A reader describes:
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.
