To get some insight on the people behind the muslim-sikh-hindu troubles in India and Pakistan, this is a must-read. It is a brilliant story told in a way that gives the reader an excellent inside on the human factor during the time of the separation and liberation of India and Pakistan. A stranger, a non-religious muslim who has spent most of his life in England, a modern thinker, comes to a small village on what was to be the border between Pakistan and India. In this village, sikhs and muslims live in peace. But in the world around them, the troubles start. In this small village, hell soon breaks loose. In the centre of it all is a young couple from different religions, whos fate together is made impossible from this sudden outbust of sectarianism on both sides. It's a marvellous book.

Kushwant Singh is at his best. Themost striking thing about the book is the characterization; true to life. This tale presesnts a wonderous look into the lives of the common people and their internal turmoils, and eventually emphasises most subtly that what matters in the end is action. Wonderfully written. A Must read !

The first work by an Indian author that I ever read, Train to Pakistan is a superb book on many levels. It is a documentary of Punjab, its people, its culture. Its a narrative of the gruesome events that burned northern India in 1947. It is a story of the cultural, political, and intellectual atmosphere of India at the time. And it succeeds BRILLIANTLY. It brings the reader into the picture so vividly, its rather disturbing. If the reader is a product of the society the athor writes about, or is intimately familiar with it, and possesses any amount of intellectual spark, this book is an absolute must read. How much it'll mean to you if you are not familiar with the culture of Punjab, I don't know.

well written but overated
I would rate this book as good but not great; readable but not riveting. First the good parts: Unlike the Indian writers of today like Arundhati Roy, Pankaj Mishra, Raj kamal jha... Lesen Sie weiter...

A must for Indiaphiles
Read slowly and carefully to follow the plot, the story quickens like a boulder rolling downhill. The climax will leave you teary-eyed. One of my favorite books of all time
