This paper is an attempt not only to project Khushwant Singh as one of the most distinguished writers in the field of contemporary Indian English fiction but also to show him as an adept in picturizing both the positive and negative images of Sikhism rather effectively in his fictional world, bringing home the point that as a brilliant novelist, story writer, historian and distinguished journalist, his literary achievements are far-ranging through publication of his two novels namely A Train to Pakistan and I Shall Not Hear the Nightingale as the finest realistic novels of Post-War-II of English fiction. It beautifully analyses Khushwant Singh’s literary and fictional art which gets deep rooted in the Punjabi soil and Sikh religion and his genuine passion and concern for his community and his healthy attachment to Sikhism in his fictional world
