Re: 1947 - A Love Story
that article says:
What happened to Zainab? How did she take it? Our clever journalist from Lahore found it out. He went to her village and lived there for some time and won her confidence soon enough. One day he asked her casually: “Well, he is dead. Why should that bother you? You have a young husband and plenty of land. What more do you want?”
“What you say is true but no-one can love me the way he (Boota Singh ) did. At night when I could not sleep because of the heat, he would fan me for hours. This husband I have now, beats me up and my daughter and says she is not good looking because she has been living with a Sikh.” Well, that’s how the Boota Singh story ended.
