After nearly three decades of journalism, voluntarily retired from the job of the Dainik Tribune (The Tribune Trust).

After leaving my job, I devoted my entire attention to this book. During this journey, I also visited some areas of Punjab, Haryana, and Himachal and met people who migrated from Punjab during terrorism. Got an opportunity to meet Hindu s in a rehabilitation Camp in Delhi too.

I was shaken by some of the horrifying stories of these people. I was taken aback when some of them said that I am the first person in three decades, who has given them an ear. The pain of the people was such that it cannot even be described. I met many people but certainly, they could not get space in my book, but my promise to all those people and my readers that I will make you hear their plight from them may be from another platform soon.

I have many breakthroughs in my journalism carrier and one of them is described in Harish Pathak’s book ‘National Journalism of Zonal Newspapers.’

Many people helped me while writing this book. Vijay Singh Bhardwaj connected me to some of the terrorist victims of Punjab and from there the chain started expanding and then met several victims at various places.
