Mine is Khushwant Singh’s ‘A Train to Pakistan’
and Qudratullah Shahab’s ‘Ya Khuda’
Re: You favorite partition related literature
Ya Khuda was the best.
Re: You favorite partition related literature
Toba tek singh
Re: You favorite partition related literature
Yes that is the master piece by Manto. I think Manto wrote many stories on partition but Toba Tek Singh is a classic :k: I also liked Thanda Gosht, a bold but unique concept
Re: You favorite partition related literature
Khuswant singhs partition book "A train to Pakistan" was awesome.
I havent read Toba Tek Singh but I have heard about it and it sounds like a good read.

Do read that. Those who can’t get time or read can listen to this classic in voice of legendary Zia Muhhuidin here:
wow, I just found that DoorDarshan also dramatised this classic.

Heard about that.. What is the basic theme?
Re: You favorite partition related literature
Why majority of the writers on both sides of the border portray one-sided picture of riots blaming one party, as if the other party was doodh main dhuli hu?
Re: You favorite partition related literature
muqawwee bhai is there any answer to question....
Who started the violence first?
Re: You favorite partition related literature
Nothing can be said with authenticity, as every party blame on other. Muslims consider themselves peaceful and claim to only retaliated against the violence they faced. same is claimed by other parties.
