| dc.description.abstract | In the widely acclaimed novel,Train to Pakistan,Khushwant Singh has accentuated his Sikh characters as having been guided by the sense of humility and humanity. Though Sikhs have been conventionally charged for having themselves involved in genocide of Muslims, it is a wrong image of Sikhs created and sustained by convention. Here, by showing Sikh characters like Meet Singh and Banta Singh ingeneral, and the protagonist Jugga Singh in particular as the strong supporters of Gandhian non-violence and saintly behaviour, the researcher claims that Khushwant Singh has pungently darted his criticism against the so called convention and its negativepresentation regarding the image of Sikhs. | en_US |
