The book by Khushwant Singh is called 'A Train to Pakistan.'
It portrays life in a Punjab village and revolves around an affair
between a Sikh guy and a Moslem girl.  A word of caution, some
of the details about the actual trains, i.e., the massacares
are quite graphic.  There are also several books of short stories
written by Manohar Mulgaonkar which make quite interesting reading.

P.S  Just heard on the news that Longowal and Gandhi have called
a truce and Longowal has declared that the agitation against the
government is over.  Lets hope for the best.
