Social and cultural understanding among the people of Khushwant Singh’s Train to Pakistan

Abstract

Train to Pakistan by Khushwant Singh is a story about the violence during Hindustan and Pakistan creation in 1947. So naturally one can assume it as a story about Hindu-Muslim communal violence, where there are some good people and bad people in parties, some heroes and some villains also there, good people trying to save good people from opposite side, people turning bad towards their own side people.
