Five rivers on fire
by M. Bashir Sulahria
About
Ethnic violence spirals out of control as Britain leaves the Indian subcontinent after World War II, dividing the country into Hindu India and Muslim Pakistan. Fazal, a proud tender-hearted Muslim shopkeeper living in a small Punjabi village stands dazed in front of his Hindu friend's shop, reduced to ashes by Muslim vigilantes. A few months later his ten year old son Karim is torn apart from his Sikh friend Makhan as his family is forced to flee India. The two friends grow up; one in Pakistan, the other in India embarking on military careers and espionage while their countries remain in perpetual conflict.
