Abstract The existence of multiple culture and traditions within a country is known as multiculturalism. It is usually considered in terms of the culture associated with foreign groups. It happens when judicial body created or expanded by the union of two or more cultures or through immigration from different parts of the world. The policies and ideologies of multiculturalism varies widely, ranging from the advocacy of equality of different cultures and groups and recognizing their individuality. In Khushwant singh’s Train to Pakistan (1956) we can see how multiculturalism turns to be both blessing and curse to thee small village Mano Majra, located in the border of India and Pakistan. According to New Historicism, some advocates of cultural studies orient their writings and teaching towards the explicit political end of reforming the existing power-relations which, they claim, are dominated by a privileged gender, race, class, or ethnic group. Multiculturalism in Train to Pakistan can be analyzed in two phases. One before the arrival of the ghost train and the second is the tension aroused among the multicultural village Mano Majra after the arrival of the ghost train.
