Abstract
‘Toba Tek Singh’ is a tale about the partition of the IndoPak subcontinent. It is, by some accounts, the best short story ever written on this subject. Ironically, the story shows us that when faced with the chaos and bloodshed of partition, the response of a person committed to a mental institution appears more sane and appropriate than those around him.
