    Train To Pakistan is a compelling portrayal ofthe partition of India. The book touches upon

    the human angle and brings out the sense of

    reality and horror. The way Singh has de-

    scribed a village where a peaceful and loving

    community transforms into one driven by ha-

    tred and fear is remarkable. The description of

    the characters gives a lift to the book and

    makes it all the more interesting to read. Pub-

    lished in 1956, the book has also been trans-

    lated into Tamil and has been adapted into a

    film with the same name.

    Education was the last thing on the minds of

    Mallahipurva villagers. Especially for girls,

    who were considered as just extra hands to

    support the family. But one girl, Gudiya,

    fought all odds and became the first one in

    her village to pass Secondary School. She did

    not stop at just this. She started a school for

    other kids in her own house and made sure

    they embraced the gift of education too. This

    is how she brought about the

    transformation.

    There has always been a stigma attached to

    mental health. About 80 percent of districts

    in India do not have even one psychiatrist in

    public service. However, the Public Health

    Foundation of India is addressing the issue

    through two unique initiatives in Madhya

    Pradesh and Maharashtra. Though still in the

    initial phase, these efforts have shown some

    great results.
