Rub Nawaz’s and Ram Singh’s families have been neighbours and friends since their grandfathers’ time. Both Nawaz and Singh, born a few days apart from each other, went to the same school, signed up for the army together, even fought alongside each other during the Great War. But in a strange turn of events, they now find themselves part of two different armies that are fighting each other for Kashmir.

Read on, as Manto looks at the aftermath of Partition in his inimitable style, replete with humour while cleverly making a point.
