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.

The characters are entertaining but the story is too short and lacks depth . I was expecting far more depth for such a historically important subject .
Though not too annoying the recording has a few errors ,one irrelevant sentence at one instance(forgot to put the mic on mute) and a few repeated sentences . No big shakes though .

Good but story lacks depth.
