Nationality has become an identity of every citizen. The history of a nation directly or indirectly shapes and affects the life of any individual. Partition of India is one such historic milestone that has shattered peace and harmony of the natives. This gory event has engulfed millions of lives into the chasm of eternity. It is so much imbibed into the lives even to the subconscious level of every individual that its impact creates ripples and terrors even at its very thought. Khuswant Singh, the pioneer of partition literature has vividly portrayed the indelible moment of history in his novel Train to Pakistan. The novel narrates a heart melting tale of love woven on the scarlet canvas of communal frenzy and religious animosity that resulted in partition. This paper is an attempt to reinstate the lost peace and harmony with the powerful weapon of humanism.

Partition, Religious Animosity, Humanism, Panacea, Diversity and Unity.
