Event Details : Saksham Theatre presents 'Toba Tek Singh' Hindi Play. 
The story is set two or three years after the 1947 Partition, when the governments of
India and Pakistan decided to exchange their Muslim, Sikh and Hindu , and revolves
around Bishan Singh, a Sikh inmate of an asylum in Lahore, who is from the town of
Toba Tek Singh. As part of the exchange of Bishan Singh is sent under police escort
to India, but upon being told that his hometown Toba Tek Singh is in Pakistan, he
refuses to go. The story ends with Bishan lying down between barbed wire: "There,
behind barbed wire, was Hindustan. Here, behind the same kind of barbed wire, was
Pakistan. In between, on that piece of ground that had no name, lay Toba Tek Singh.”
