‘The partition of the subcontinent came at an unbelievable human cost. This story, powerfully recalled and vividly told, is of a man who never forgot this scorching fact. Dr M.C. Davar saw the folly of the Two Nation Theory...and he interiorised the torments of refugees rendered homeless and hopeless by the Partition. He strove for justice, for due compensation, for basic human rights.... We can read his life-story to our enrichment, or miss out on reading it to our impoverishment.’
