It is the summer of 1947. But Partition does not mean much to the
Sikhs and Muslims of Mano Majra, a village on the border of India
and Pakistan. Then, a local money-lender is murdered, and suspicion
falls upon Juggut Singh, the village gangster who is in love with a
Muslim girl. When a train arrives, carrying the bodies of dead
Sikhs, the village is transformed into a battlefield, and neither
the magistrate nor the police are able to stem the rising tide of
violence. Amidst conflicting loyalties, it is left to Juggut Singh
to redeem himself and reclaim peace for his village. First
published in 1956, Train to Pakistan is a classic of modern Indian
fiction.
