  Title : Soil and Blood
  
  Naseem Hijazi had to migrate from Indian East Punjab to Pakistani Punjab,at partition in 1947.
  He witnessed a lot of communal rioting and the book was published a couple of years later,in 1949.
  
  Given what he went through,it is an understandbly emotional book.However,personally,I skimmed through the book.The writing style did not grab my attention.There are better books on partition related violence.

  I have read many stories at the time of partition but this one is no way near to them. clear, precise, true and exact picture has been taken by naseem in this book.
  maazi ki talakh yadain, na insafian or bahaduri k muzahiray is kitab mai mehfuz karlie gayi hain. shru say le kar akhir tak maazi ki Yeh jhalkiyan, mamlaat, mamulaat or malumaat is kitab ka ahem hissa hain.
  I am in love with this book. :)
  also, this book has made me fell in love with Pakistan. the efforts and the hard work of Muslims at that time, their sacrifices and helping attitude made it all happen.

  A kind of popular fiction that represents the narrative of Pakistani nationalism which tells us this country was made at the cost of the sacrifice of Muslims murdered by Sikhs and Hindus. It's not just a historical fiction but there are also snippets of information about the factors that were involved in the inception of Pakistan which are nothing other than distorted history under the influence of nationalism. It would have been a good book if Nasim Hijazi had told only story, no matter that story was close to reality or not. But when you also try to give some context to your story and that context is just a parochial view, you also ruin the beauty of that story.

  تے اج کتابِ عشق دا کوئی اگلا ورقہ کھول
  
برِ صغیر اور بالخصوص پنجاب کی تقسیم اور اس ضمن میں جو کشت و خون کا بازار گرم ہوا وہ ایک ایسا المیہ تھا کہ جس کے اثرات آج بھی ہمارے معاشرے میں صدائے بازگشت کی ماند متعرش ہیں۔ تاریخ کے عنکبوت کا جال بہت سے مختلف دھاگوں سے بُنا ہوتا ہے اور یہ کتاب ایک اہم دھاگہ ہے جو کہ مشرقی پنجاب کے عام مسلمانوں کے اس خاک و خون میں مالیدہ تجربہ کی تاریخی داستان ہے اور اس کو پڑھے اور سمجھے بغیر نا ہم اپس تاریخی واقعے کو سمجھ سکتے ہیں جو کہ سن ۴۷ میں رونما ہوا اور نا ہی موجودہ معاشرہ کی پیچیدیگیوں کو کہ جن کا ایک بڑا حصہ آج بھی اس صدمہ کی غیر شعوری ارتعاش ہے

  Ali Yasir

  A typical Hijaazi history novel where hero is always Muslim. He is an honest, brave and ideal for others.
• 
  Huzaifa Riaz

  A typical Naseem Hijazi's Novel written in Pakistan Studies style in which Hero is a multi talented superhuman. Although the story about partition was compelling but written in a biased narrative.

  দেশভাগ নিয়ে লেখা ।
  পুরাই ফাউল একটা বই ।
  
  ( তৎকালীন রাজনৈতিক প্রেক্ষাপটে বইটা ঠিক আছে । কিন্তু , প্রতিপক্ষকে এভাবে আক্রমণ করাটা আমার কাছে ভালো লাগে নাই )

  حجازی کو خود اپنا گھر چھوڑ کر پاکستان انا پڑا تھا، اس لئیے وہی دکھ اور غریب الوطنی ان کی اس تحریر بالآخر جھلک آئی. ان پر ساتھ میں یہ الزم بھی لگایا جا تا ہے کہ انھوں نے حقائق کو توڑ موڑ کر پیش کیا ہے لیکن تاریخی ناول نگاری میں یہ چیزیں معمول سمجھا جاتا ہے (اس لئیے تو تاریخی ناول نگاری کو تاریخ سے ایک جداگانہ ادبی صنف سمجھا اور پڑھا جاتا ہے). اس کی ایک اور وجہ اردو زبان میں انگریزی زبان سے متاثر ہو کر نت نئے طریقوں سے طبع آزمائی بھی ہوتی ہے).
  بٹوارہ برصغیر کی تاریخ کے الم ناک واقعات میں سے ہے، تو جس نے بھی اس پر تحریر لکھی وہ درد کے ایک تجربے سے گزر کر لکھی یا درد میں ڈھوب کر لکھی. شاید یہی حادثہ برصغیر کے ادب پر اپنی گہری چھاپ چھوڑ گیا.
  خاک اور خون اپنے مدوجزر میں بہا کر لے جانے کی صلاحیت رکھتا ہے. انگریزی ادب پڑھنے والوں کو شاید اس میں وہ ادبی گہری یا موشگافیاں نہ ملے لیکن دور جدید میں جب عبد الحلیم شرر یا شورش کشمیری کی تاریخی تحریریں دم تھوڑ گئ ہیں ایسے میں حجازی کی تحاریر آج تک بھی زندہ ہیں. شاید کچھ وقت ابھی باقی ہوں.

  رات کی رانی

  A very painful story .It showed partition hardships. Our Punjab people had given a lot of sacrifices for getting sacred Homeland Pakistan.
  Pakistan came into being after lots of sacrifices of Muslims which is truly shown in this novel .Hindus and Sikhs betrayed Muslims only on the basis of religion.
  The story showed childhood of hero Saleem which was full of happiness and then came the youthfulness of hero which was enthusiastic and full of zeal and zest.After that, the most painful time ,partition time,came in which Saleem lost his entire family.
  I cried a lot while reading it as it revealed pain of my ancestors who gave their lives , honor and property for nation. It is patriotism invoking book. I love it.

  I started reading urdu in grade 2 when i saw "naunehaal" while buying books for my new session.Ever since, i fell in love with it. I started reading Naseem Hijazi in 2016 at the age of 11,after my uncle's death ,and khaak aur khoon was one of the last of his I've read (I've read all of his novels, even re-read them, which I rarely do).He is one of the reasons I am now a patriotic person who adores history.The book starts off as awesome,with witty characters like afzal and ramzan which make you long once again that you were alive at the time leading to independence.But, for me as a lover of Pakistani history the most inspirational and engrossing part was saleem's teenage years in Islamia college and his journey to becoming involved in the movement.
  
  I rarely cry on books, but the partition stuff was too much for me, I wept while reading it, it just broke me to pieces.A line from this book will always echo in my heart ,when Ramzan (inevitably one of my favorites) says to Lachman Singh ," main wahi Ramzan hoon 9i am the same Ramzan) tum meri har baat par hannsa karte thay (you used to laugh at my ever joke)Lachman Singh yaad hai, jab main bemaar hua tha toh tum kaha karte thay agar ramzam mar gaya toh gaaon suna ho jaye ga (do you remember Lachman Singh,when I fell sick you used to say if Ramzan dies, this village will become desolate.) aaj maloom hota hai tum such much maar daalo ge(today it seems you'll actually kill me)
  I can offer only one advice to the reader, read this book when your mind isn't preoccupied,because it just breaks you apart and if you like me agree that books like these should be translated I sincerely request you to contact me so we can do it together. The last part of the book i have translated bits by bits to read to people biased towards not reading urdu .I have tried my best to do justice to this book because I feel it should be read again and again, but you can only realise this after reading. Most favorite till date.

Muslims, in the wake of listening to this, monitored the homes and properties of their Non-Muslim neighbors from the uproars, yet Radcliff talented this area to India to empower Kashmir to join India. Indeed the lord of Kashmir, Hari Singh needed it to be blended with India
