Darkness of Turbulent Times

The book and later TV mini series gives a closer to life of the partition of the Indian subcontinent in 1947. Brisham Sahni, came as a refugee to India from West Punjab (now in Pakistan) and the story is perhaps partly autobiographical. Tamas along with Khushwant Singh's Train to Pakistan are excellent accounts of those turbulent times.
