Overview

Kishorilal was called up by his country to do national service. He partook in a rigourous training programme that was a true test of his heart, body, mind and soul. Fighting off his cowardly hopes of quitting so as to avoid the ordeal, he was finally made battle ready. He became a spy and was sent behind enemy lines. Slipping into enemy territory, his espionage attempts met with complete success, and he was commended highly for his bravery. However, luck soon turned against him, as during his third mission he was seized by the enemy camp and imprisoned. He was subjected to brutal torture and came close to death on more than one occasion. He was finally released and allowed back home to India, but did not receive the welcome he was hoping for, unable to convince those left behind he had not betrayed his country. This is one man's bitter fight for survival, both behind enemy lines, and on return to the motherland.

The name Kishori Lal was given to me by my grandfather, Late Sh. Lakhpat Rai as he was informed about my birth at the village Gurudwara, where he was sitting for the daily Ardas. He requested the Granthi of the Gurudwara to find the first word from the Holy Script, the WAK of Sh. Guru Granth Saheb. The Granthi then pronounced 'K' in Gurumukhi, i.e. Kakka or Kee. Then my grandfather named me Kishori Lal on 27th Feb,1945.My father, Late Sh. Gurbachan Ram was in service in the MES at Jallandhar Cantt. and was allotted a Govt. accommodation at 142, Hardyal Road. We were four brothers & three sisters, and after passing my matriculation examination from Punjab University, I joined an Automobile Engineering Course at the Institute of Motor Engineering London, through the British Institute of Engineering & Technology (BIET) Bombay by correspondence and completed the course. In the meantime I was in touch with Mr. Bhimsen, one of my elder brother's friends and he introduced me to an officer of the Ml.
