Review by Madhulika Liddle on Goodreads:
“On a moonlit night in a 1940s Punjab torn by communal riots, a
Muslim woman leads an elderly Sikh couple whom she's briefly
sheltered to what may be safety. As they creep out of the village and
along a dried riverbed, they see flames reaching up into the sky from a
burning village on one bank of the river. Then, “In a copse of trees, they
saw the white grave of a saint. No lamp was burning on it. On this
night, people had forgotten to light a lamp here.”
A poignant and ironic reflection on what was going on: people were
too busy burning homes, too busy killing each other—and that too in
the name of religion—to think of lighting a lamp at the otherwise
revered grave of a saint.”
ID the novel which has been adapted into a movie which won Nargis
Dutt Award for Best Feature Film on National Integration.

Kumar - Meena Kumari starrer, Azaad, started approaching music
directors to compose the music for the film with just two weeks’

had been allotted. Azaad went on to be a huge hit, with many of
its songs topping the charts.
