The girl walked north from Potsdamer Platz towards Shonëberger Straße, passing a small piece of The Wall that was left standing, ironically juxtaposed against the high-rising Kolhoff Tower immediately behind it. The wall was crumbling and popping with political graffiti. Behind it, the tower was made almost entirely of glass, looking futuristic as it loomed atop the city skyline.

Walk down most hallways during the school day, and you will see the glazed over eyes of students that have to listen to facts that will never obtain any type of relevancy for them.

Khushwant Singh’s Train to Pakistan highlights the futility of blaming each other for the unfortunate event. Also, the novel is one of the first and most effective works on partition. While writing the novel, the writer has quite objectively treated the event, without blaming a community or religious minority for it. He has tried to stay away from the blame. “Muslims said the Hindus had planned and started the killing. According to the Hindus, the Muslims were to blame”. According to him, “The…
