Abstract: The people of India, Pakistan and Bangladesh have completed six decades of independence from the British rule. Nevertheless, the celebrations of the freedom will always be tempered by the fact that "the nation" was being partitioned simultaneously. The Partition left approximately ten million refugees and claimed a million lives. Historians have many different opinions upon the issue of partition but predominantly it was a result of a deeper politics, inculcated and ingrained historically to hound the lives of the community and may be nationalities forever. The politics of South Asia of our own times carry the traits of the same consciousness and understanding that divided people into religion based ethnicities. There were many consequences of partition like large scale migration, destruction of life, and of land, of home but the worst victim of Partition who had had to endure not only the destruction of one's mentioned here, but had to undergo abduction, rape, mutilation, if survives further then, prostitution. Train to Pakistan tells the tragic tale of the Partition and of the events that followed Partition. Partition undoubtedly touched the whole subcontinent and Khuswant Singh's attempt in the novel is to see the events from the point of view of people across the border.
