About The Author

Shri Hari Krishan Suchdeva was born in October 1924 in a well-known Suchdeva family of Dera Ismail Khan Dist. (NWFP), now in Pakistan. In 1947, the year of partition of the Indian sub continent he was a third year student of the four years Electrical and Mechanical Engineering Course at the famous Engineering College of the Benares Hindu University. The year 1947 proved itself a highly sensitive and dismal for the non-muslim population of the then demarcated territory to be known as Pakistan.

As luck would have it, he happened to be in Karachi (Pakistan) in August 1947 for compulsive reasons. He then was to undertake journey from Karachi to Benares for joining the College for the final year term commencing in the first week of September 1947.

He left Karachi on 21 August 1947. In the book 'Blood and Tears' he narrates the gory events which he had to edge through during the journey from Karachi to the Indian Boarder, journey having lasted for ten days. The account of these events is factual, unbiased and objective.

The aim of the author in writing the book was two fold. Firstly, it was to give the posterity a chance to know what humiliations, indiginities and sufferings the non-muslims had to go through in coming to the Indian side of the partition line after leaving their hearths and homes behind. Secondly, it was to commemorate the memory of those who laid down their lives in that small border town of Bahawalnagar on 26 August 1947 in the general massacre perpetrated by the miscreants under the very nose of the authorities whose responsibility was to maintain law and order.
