He won Sword of Honour & Gold Medal for the most outstanding Cadet in 1935 from Indian Military Academy, Dehradun. But he left all to join I.N.A under Netaji. He was Chief of General Staff under General Mohan Singh of I.N.A. He chose to move over in Pakistan after Partition in 1947 and wrote this book from there. This was published after his death through Maj. Gen. Chand Narain Das & Sh Sisir Kumar Bose.

The book narrates many instances which are still now not known to people in Indian and Pakistan. He wrote...”India and Pakistan got their independence in 1947. Both before and after the Partition of the sub-continent, unprecedented communal riots engulfed vast areas causing great loss of life and untold sufferings to millions of poor & unsuspecting human beings. The instigators and the leaders (so called) generally got away without so much as a bruise. In fact many improved their lot politically, economically and financially” ........” Those of us who are in the autumn of our lives, and who did their mite to get rid of foreign rule, did not envision the type of independence we have got. People want happiness and contentment which they don’t seems to have. It is now upto the youth, whose future is at stake....”
