Description

Balraj Sahni, the noted film and theatre personality, was, in the words of his close observer, "generous and warm-hearted in his responses, almost to a fault; utterly loyal to the causes with which he was associated-and the most central among these was India itself-and those whom he admitted to his friendship. That is why those who knew him well, miss him beyond all forgetting…"

Bhisham Sahni, a well-known writer in Hindi, has written this personal account of his elder brother's life to acquaint the readers with the sources of strength in Balraj's radiant, well-rounded personality.
