About the Book

Set in 1947, when the territories of Hindustan obtained their independence from Great Britain, this novel recounts the consequences of the division of continental India into the two countries of India and Pakistan. Religious hatred runs rampant in both countries, and when the local moneylender is murdered in a northern Indian town close to the Pakistani border, everyone suspectsa well-known Sikh thief who is in love with a Muslim. The gossip that leads to the crime, the arrival of a train full of dead bodies, and rumors of uprisings in other parts of the country prevent further peaceful coexistence in the town. This modern Indian classic, published for the first time in 1956, demonstrates how easy it is to incite hatred and disrupt the peace in communities that had coexistedpeacefully for centuries."Ambientada en 1947, cuando los territorios del Indostan que dependian del Imperio Britanico alcanzaron la independencia, esta novela recuenta las consecuencias de la division del territorio continental de la India en los dos paises de India y Pakistan. El odio religioso se extiende por ambos paises, y cuando el prestamista local es asesinado enun pequeno pueblo al norte de la Indiaen lafrontera con Pakistan, todas las sospechas recaen sobre un conocido ladron sij enamorado de una musulmana. Las habladurias que provoca el crimen, la llegada de un tren cargado de cadaveres y los rumores de revueltas en otras partes del pais terminan enrareciendo la convivencia en el pueblo. Este clasico de la literatura india moderna, publicado por primera vez en 1956, muestra lofacil que es incitar al odio y romper la armonia en comunidades que habian convivido pacificamente durante siglos.
