Trinity @ Bakloh

PRE-ORDERS FOR THIS BOOK IS NOW OPEN. BOOK WILL BE DISPATCHED AFTER RELEASE ON 21th JULY 2026.

Trinity @ Bakloh is a compelling historical novel inspired by real-life memories, family traditions and stories passed down through generations. Through the lives of three central characters, it celebrates the resilience, courage and values of ordinary people who endured hardship with dignity, honesty and unwavering hope. Set amidst the serene hills of Bakloh in Himachal Pradesh, it is both a tribute to a place and to the people who shaped its enduring legacy.

Spanning the years before, during and after Partition, the narrative vividly portrays the triumphs, tragedies and sacrifices of families whose lives were transformed by migration, conflict and changing times. While history often records events, this book reveals their profound emotional, social and human impact through the lived experiences of common people. Rich in tradition and culture, it preserves the timeless lessons of humility, perseverance and moral strength that were passed from one generation to the next.

More than a historical account, this is a journey into the heart of Bakloh, its business community, its people and the proud legacy of the Gurkhas. The story invites readers to rediscover a forgotten heritage while inspiring a deeper appreciation for the region's remarkable past.

Blending meticulous research with heartfelt storytelling, Trinity @ Bakloh bridges the gap between historical fact and human experience. It is a tribute to the enduring spirit of those who came before us and a reminder that resilience, compassion and hope remain the greatest inheritance we can pass on to future generations.

"An excellent effort by Shalini, reflecting a great deal of thought, hard work, and many late nights. This book holds a special place in my heart, as I was born in Bakloh, spent my childhood there and completed my schooling in that beautiful town. After having travelled to many stunning places around the world, I can now sit back and truly appreciate the unique charm and allure of Bakloh. It remains close to my heart, and I find it especially enchanting during the summer and monsoon seasons. Truly a must-visit destination. The continuous chain of incidents in the book, in an aptly described geographical and historical context, keeps one curious and occupied. Wishing all readers a joyful and nostalgic reading experience."
