Train To Pakistan book review
Recently I read Train to Pakistan novel, the year was 1947 Train to Pakistan by Khushwant Singh is based on those times.
As Indian we know that which kind partition happen and born one new state(conutry) Pakistan. In the 1947 partition based on two religion Hindu and Muslims. The small village of Mano Majra situated near to the Sutlej river, one of the largest rivers in the Punjab. It is main setting of the story. Mano Majra village is not only one region village but here Sikhas, Hindu, Muslim community people live happy each other before partition but after partition situation is completely change they are become rivals. The book is a highly acclaimed novel described the tumultuous birth of Pakistan. The partition resulted in the Hindu Muslim migration and as the very large numbers moved communal riots broke, property was families were disruption, millions were killed. Jaggat Singh, Hukum Chand, Iqbal, Nooran are chief characters in the novel.
Jagga(Jaggatsingh) and Iqabal characters are more described than others. Jagga belongs to Sikh community, he loves Muslim girl Nooran. But Jagga well known for his bad work and he was going to lot of time at jail. When the money lender in the village is found murdered, the suspicion falls on Jaggatsingh and he is arrested. Iqbal is outside man who visit Mano majara and he feel religious discrimination. In the whole novel his religious identity not shown. May be it through author want to show how religious identity is important than other.
Intentionally Iqbal has not said his surname so most of villagers guess Iqbal religious identity some say he is sikh or Muslim. It through we can say that without your religion or caste identity people don’t accept as person, it happens in present time also. Now situation something change but even religious discrimination never stopped. We can see present time some of people fight for their religious like Ayodhya in the UP (Uttarpradesh) there people fight for temple and masjid.
So this type of religious discrimination may be never been end.
Khushvanatsingh well described partition and religion discrimination in the novel.
