Hospitality Delayed Saadat Hasan Manto Rioters brought the running train to a halt. People belonging to the other community were pulled out and slaughtered with swords and bullets. The remaining passengers were treated to halwa, fruits and milk. The chief organiser said, ‘Brothers and sisters, news of this train’s arrival was delayed. That is why we have not been able to entertain you lavishly – the way we wanted to.’ Source: English translation of Urdu short story Kasre-Nafsi Gandhi in Noakhali (now in Bangladesh) in .
