About The Author

CAPTAIN M S KOHLI

At the age of seven he crossed a river and climbed the 2,000 feet high peak immortalized by his ancestors in 1824 who were executed by the Afghan rebels during the conquest of North West Frontier by General Hari Singh Nalwa. At the age of fifteen, he saw his native town of Haripur burnt to ashes and the entire population annihilated. After harrowing journey of two months, witnessing massacre of over 4,000 displaced persons in two trains, encountering death at every step, finally saved by his family friend Ayub Khan (later to become Field Marshal and President of Pakistan), he staggered into Delhi barefooted and in tattered clothes but full of joy to breathe air of freedom.
