repeated across villages in India and the then newly made Pakistan.
Religion based killings were the norm of the day, and centuries-old
brotherhood was forgotten quickly. This short story revolves around the
Sikh-Muslim equation in 1947. The short story is set in Hoshiarpur
District of Eastern Punjab.
