Good attempt, author.

P.S: Amritsar with 40-odd %age of Muslims was a Muslim city in a three-some way i.e Muslims, Sikhs and Hindus b4 15-Aug 1947. Even now the city looks more like a Muslim city on first impression excpet when u see the daggers hanging from older women. Though new generation women doesnt carry daggers older women does!

Gentlemen & Ladies, this is a plagiarized piece from a story written by Saki. I remember reading this in my high school in India. The difference is just the milieu of Partition here, in the original it was industrial rivalry.
