6 In August 1947, days before the partition of India and Pakistan, Singh, then a lawyer practicing in the High Court in Lahore, drove to his family's summer cottage at Kasauli in the foothills of the Himalayas. Continuing on to Delhi along 200 miles (320 km) of vacant road, he came upon a Jeep of armed Sikhs who boasted that they had just massacred a village of Muslims.
