About the Book

This book is not a novel or fiction but is a real life story of an adventurous journey by the author in search of his birthplace. It was a place he had never seen before and had only dreamed about. He was too young when his parents had no other choice but to leave their house, family, friends and above all, their motherland, known as State of Jammu and Kashmir. Along with thousands of other people, they were forced to migrate to Pakistan, a newly emerged state after the independence of the Indian Sub-Continent from British Rule in 1947.
