The result was the Muslim-dominated northern Pakistan, and the Hindu-dominated south the Republic of India. However, the division was devastating to both India and Pakistan as it claimed many lives from riots, rapes, murders and looting. About 15 million people have been forced from their homes.

Azadi of Chaman Nahal is a modern classic, concealing an overarching revelation of life that shows the chaos that the division of the people of this country has wrought on both the social and personal levels. From a literary point of view, it presents a realistic historical document of the barbaric struggle of the Partition.
