Train To Pakistan introduces us to the summer
Good trying to save good people from opposite side whereas people turning bd towards their own side people .
Khushwant singh gives us the clear picture of social , political , physical and mental atmosphere . During the period , the people have got their freedom back but they have not realised and thought about the destruction which took place in all over the india especially in Mano Majra .
The major destruction was established at the time when the train arrived to Mano Majra , that contains all the dead people . They all were Sikhs and Hindus . It was considered as the KALYUG – The Dark Age , in the name of revenge the Muslims of Pakistan had killed so many innocents who do not even thought of bad of anyone .
When a train arrives , carrying the bodies of dead Sikhs , the village is transformed into a battlefield , and neither the magistrate nor the police was able to stem the rising tide of violence . Amidst conflicting loyalties , it is left to Juggut Singh to redeem himself and reclaim peace for his village
Before Independence , Muslims and Indians both were considered as the part of one nation and there was unity among all . This unity and progress as a nation let India to be an Independent nation . it was the people of India who protest with several major political leaders which led to the freedom of Indians . After the Independence the severe changes made the partition between the small part as the Pakistan and the rest the India . These changes had the immense effect on the people of Mano Majra but the effect does not effect the love between the Muslims and the Sikhs . The death of the local money-lender Ram lal creates lots of misunderstandings in the village which created separations and effects the lives severely .
Juggut singh , the village gangster who was in love with a Muslim girl Nooran and her dad Imam Baksh , the mullah of the mosque and was the weaver . Imam was basically called by the name of chacha instead of his real name . He was one of the person who was respected by all the other people there in Mano Majra . Therefore they showed their love and respect to the Muslim community indirectly . Jugga dakoo was arrested for the murder of Ram lal as he was one of the suspect for every crime that took place in Mano Majra
