Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 The men were Sikhs, and they were waiting for the Karachi-bound train. The train was carrying Muslim clerks and officials to Pakistan's capital, Karachi.

#2 The creation of Pakistan, which was to be a homeland for the Muslims who lived in India, seemed like a curse to the Sikhs living near the canal. The new country would pass right by their village.

#3 The fight to establish Pakistan was bitter but short. It only took about ten years for the wounds inflicted by the struggle to heal, and people were promised that Hindus and Sikhs would be treated equally under the law.

#4 The riots that took place in India and Pakistan in 1947 were just the beginning of many conflicts between the two countries. Today, anxiety about India threatens to drive the Pakistani state’s most destabilizing behavior.
