Roy also talking in the similar manner about the novel says: … in Train to Pakistan, the violence that erupted at the time of the partition is represented in a very unusual way. (Bhatnagar 152) It mainly focuses on the consequences of partition, avoiding the graphic presentation of the horrific events. It is not partition but what it gets associated with and what it becomes symbolic of that attracts the attention of the writer.

Talking about the treatment of the subject by Khushwant Singh, Bhatnagar says: Khushwant Singh was the first Indian novelist in English to write about the horror and holocaust of partition with great artistic concern in Train to Pakistan. His focus shifts to the other associated issues at the time of partition. The killings and violence is no doubt a part of it but not the central theme. Though there are numerous works written on partition but Train to Pakistan stands out as it does not treat the usual themes of indiscriminate killings of people. Both shot and stubbed and speared and clubbed. According to him, "The fact is, both sides killed. According to the Hindus, the Muslims were to blame" (Singh 1). "Muslims said the Hindus had planned and started the killing. He has tried to stay away from the blame. While writing the novel, the writer has quite objectively treated the event, without blaming a community or religious minority for it. Also, the novel is one of the first and most effective works on partition. Introduction Khushwant Singh's Train to Pakistan highlights the futility of blaming each other for the unfortunate event. It ultimately asserts that, the videoing adaptation of the literary oeuvre can carry the fundamental theme in more apparent method than the written feat. So, this article is mainly shedding light on how the concept of evacuation chaos has been already adapted from the manuscript of Singh into the film of Rooks with essential concentration on the realistic portrayal of such social tragic crisis that divided the cultural, religious, and political trends of the common people across the two countries. The most influential aspect in the novel is that, it includes several situations and conditions for the characters and hence the videoing staff of the film with the same name " Train to Pakistan" suffered a lot while converting love into hatred, peace into war, coexistence into an arbitrary evacuation, and yet friendship into death. So, Khushwant Singh (1915-2014), an Indian author, politician, and journalist wrote his marvelous fiction Train to Pakistan in 1956 but it was adapted into the cinematic and visual world in 1998 and was directed by Pamela Rooks. Consequently, some concepts seem so difficult to be shifted into films as they bear so tragic, melancholic, or adventurous circumstances and hence changing them into visible facts demand patently paying more endless endeavors and time. Therefore, we can say that writing the work of art often is easier than transforming that work into the world of videoing. So, it is apparent that, some literary feats already were written in short period within one year at maximum for instance but when the makers of movies went to convert them into films, such works at least took three years to be depicted into movies. Hence, a lot of oeuvres that have been adapted and shifted into movies couldn't reach their splendid prestige unless being depicted well previously by theatres' specialists and movies' designers. It is not that easy task to convert a work of art into the digital filmic milieu. He portrays Iqubal Singh to nullify male dominance and women discrimination to some extent. Khushwant Singh meagrely tries to the union of both (Muslim and Sikh) religions through love of Nooran and sacrifice of Juggut Singh. Virginity is noble and glorious symbol used to propagate communal violence after partition. Women give their body to men in barter of external nominal things like bangles, earrings, bracelets, etc.

The women are passive, work for unpaid labour, dependant and therefore submissive and obedient. Patriarchy is solid base of family and social structure in Mano Majra.
