Author:Gulzar We were One people. One parted. Now we are Two. It s the winter of 1946. A truck leaves the village of Campbellpur after news of the impending Partition starts pouring in. Its motley crew comprises a dhaba owner, a kothewali, a Rai Bahadur and his family, a young widow and her child. On the way, they pick up sundry other people a young boy and his grandfather, and two sisters all displaced by a destiny they did not choose. They have just heard words like border and refugee , and are struggling to understand how drawing a line might carve out Pakistan from Hindustan. As they reach close to where they imagine the border will be drawn, the caravan disperses and people go their own ways. The passage to the border, fraught with danger and despair as it is, is not an end.
