Description

In the year 1971 K Narendra, Editor, Daily Vir Arjun, visited Rajouri (Jammu) to participate in the birth celebrations of Veer Banda. There he learnt, and also saw for himself, that at the time of the partition of the country not only had local Sangh Swayamsevaks Shown unparalleled courage and spirit of sacrifice, but hundreds of local women had also followed in the footsteps of Padmini and immolated themselves for the sake of their honour. On his return, he wrote in anguish, It is the country’s misfortune that those in power today have made dastardly attempts to hide these events from our countrymen. In the name of secularism these facts are being covered up, and new history concocted to mislead the people.

These comments speak for themselves. It is a fact that the heroic, inspiring and self-sacrificing role played by Sangh Swayamsevaks and our mothers and sisters is sought to be covered up. There are many books on the partition, but very little of this heroic history finds a place in them.

This book attempts to bring it to light. The events described here are facts of history, not flights of fancy. This is history written in blood-blood of patriotic Swayamsevaks, valorous women, and brave Jawans. This record glows with the Jauhar of countless Padminis. In it the reader will come across many Abhimanyus, Hakikat Rais, and Baji Prabhu Deshpandes. This book is a treasure house of events of unparalleled courage, self-sacrifice and service to humanity.

REVIEWS

Refugees from West Pakistan, wherever they may be living in India, would declare with one voice that they are deeply indebted to the truly humanitarian Organization Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh. It stood by them at a time when everybody had left them to their fate.
-Dr A N Bali

On the strength of their discipline, physical capacity and selflessness workers of the RSS protected the people of Punjab at risk to themselves.
-Now It can Be Told

There is no doubt that the RSS provided succor and safety to Hindus in times of difficulty.
-Sardar Patel, Home Minister

These brave Swayamsevaks did not show their back. The wounds they all bore are either on the chest or on the head.
-Parsi Judge Mehar
