About this ebook

Almost overnight with a stroke of the pen, Cyril Radcliffe who sat in his office in New Delhi in 1947, at the behest of his masters, drew a line across the map of undivided India. He created India and Pakistan, and it came as an overnight shock to predominantly Hindu Samudra Bagh to be allotted to Pakistan.

In Toys of Gods, author Prem K. Thadhani offers a fictionalized story of what happened to his family during the Partition of India when he was only four years old. The family, like others, was uprooted without warning. It follows Padam, better known as Puzzle, the boy whose father was a rich refugee from Pakistan, and shares his view of life and the world as his family tries to make its way in a new land.
