About this listen

 Mano Majra is a place, Khushwant Singh tells us at the beginning of this classic novel, where Sikhs and Muslims have lived together in peace for hundreds of years. Then one day, at the end of the summer, the 'ghost train' arrives, a silent, incredible funeral train loaded with the bodies of thousands of refuges, bringing the village its first taste of the horrors of the civil war. Train to Pakistan is the story of this isolated village that is plunged into the abyss of religious hate. It is also the story of a Sikh boy and a Muslim girl whose love endures and transcends the ravages of war.

narration was not impressive. their was instances during narration that were articulated very bad and sometimes the speaker broke in conversation as if talking to others perhaps people sitting in the same room where the recording was being done.

Can do better

A good story but not a fine one. The fine details of unnecessary things like flies andlizard and a singer and a megistrate's fear are given even though there was a lot of potency for the real plight of people of ManuMajra who suffered in the partition should be given. The end is also so stale and not appealing. I think the writer's of current decade are more mature in writing than the so acclaimed Khushwant Singh. A little disappointed ☹️

Disappointed with the highly appreciated story.
