I wouldn’t say the plot was so original and exceptionally good, but the way it was delivered has kind of made me stop from saying anything negative about the plot and how the book is.

The plot is full of twists and the way the plot brings out the characters is so good. I am saying it at the time when Indian writers are forcefully making their books long while this author managed to deliver such a big story in almost 200 pages. Some make you feel anger.Ĭonsidering how small this book is and how many plots and characters are going on in the book, I think it requires talent to write this book so well. Don’t worry! I didn’t give any spoilers.Īll the characters invoke the intended emotions in you. And then usual killings and riot-like situations which we all know happened during the partition. Then there is a murder that brings suspense in the story. There are Sikhs and Muslims who act as two different communities in the village, and you can never forget how they are important together. There is a magistrate who seems to be smart, but you still keep wondering about what role he is going to play in the book. There is a strange visitor whose religion is unknown and whose jargon makes you curious about him. There is Jugga, a Sikh badmash and his love interest Nooran, a Muslim girl. There are several characters in the book. It’s such a simple but well-delivered story. Laced with great story telling abilities, the way author has delivered this story is so good. It’s gripping, intriguing, energetic and entertaining. It’s the first book I have read by the author, and now I know, why people say that he’s an excellent writer. The central theme of the book is, of course, to highlight a side of India-Pakistan partition but the book is filled with entertaining content to entice the reader. This happens due to the arrival of a ghost train. But now they’re going to face a war-like situation. The people of this village, Mano Majra, have stayed in harmony until now.

The back of the book talks about a small village situated at the Indian- Pakistan border. The book is Train to Pakistan by Khushwant Singh. It’s based on the time of India-Pakistan division which acted as the creamy topping on a delicious desert. I happened to pick an Indian classic that is often prefixed with ‘one of the most controversial novels’ by the author. Getting a chance to read such books is good luck. Isn’t it? The books that make into big controversies signify that they have some thought provoking and unusual content, which will challenge your thoughts and emotions. There’s something rebellious and surprising about reading controversial and banned books.
