The book “Trinity @ Bakloh”, authored by Shalini Sharma, a resident of 2/4 Bazaar, Bakloh, Himachal Pradesh, is set to be released on 25 July 2026 by Delhi-based publishing house Sabre & Quill.
Born on 27 July 1970, Shalini Sharma grew up in a military environment, which gave her the opportunity to travel across India and enriched her experiences and perspectives. Inspired by her father, Colonel Dhan Raj (Retd.), and supported by her husband, Captain (IN) Anil Kumar Sharma (Retd.), she penned this remarkable work.
The book takes readers on a captivating journey through the lives of three central characters (the “Trinity”) and their families, weaving together themes of joy, sorrow, struggle, love, sacrifice, and human emotions. Set against the scenic backdrop of Bakloh in Himachal Pradesh, the narrative vividly portrays the resilience of its people and their cultural heritage.
Through its cinematic storytelling, the book transports readers to the turbulent era before, during, and after India’s Partition, highlighting the courage, failures, and triumphs of ordinary lives deeply impacted by history. It bridges historical facts with human realities, offering a fresh perspective on the emotional and social costs of major events often overlooked in traditional history books.
Beyond its characters, “Trinity @ Bakloh” celebrates the legacy of Bakloh and the Gorkha community, inspiring new generations to rediscover the town’s historic glory. The book resonates with diverse readers—whether from the armed forces, the Gorkha community, or any part of India—by reflecting familiar struggles and values.
