Gulzar
”The moment the train reached the bridge, a wave of excitement ran through the crowd
We have reached the river Ravi.
this is River Ravi. We are in Lahore”
Ravi Paar is a short story about the time of India partition and when the lakhs of people moved to Pakistan and many from the former undivided state, moved to India.
In this confusing times with riots and killings everywhere, many strange but sad things happen. A man gets thrown off a moving train by another, who is afraid that he will be killed. A dead baby gets breastfed while a living one mistakenly gets thrown off a train and into a river.
However, humans may change but a river remains. It is witness to so many unholy or amazing things happening on the land. This is the story of a river who was there throughout the history.
