Pakistan Mail (Punjabi translation of Train to Pakistan) is a deeply moving historical novel centered on the human tragedy of the 1947 Partition of India. Awarded the Grove Press Fiction Award in 1956, the narrative unfolds in the fictional village of Mano Majra, set amid the horrors of communal violence and displacement in Punjab.
