In 1947, a young boy witnessed the horrors of Partition in the Punjab as he fled with his family from marauding mobs of bloodthirsty fanatics, leaving fire and fear behind them. Many decades later, he came to be one of the most consequential figures in the history of Pakistan. From the rugged and windswept coastline of the Arabian Sea to the quiet and dark halls of Westminster, Salman Faruqui’s varied and unique career has been filled with excitement, adventure, challenges and memorable encounters. His long and devoted service to Pakistan has led him to associate with the country’s leading figures at every stage of its development and, after working closely with them, he provides a unique insight into Pakistan’s unknown history. Along the way, he came to encounter the phenomenal and the absurd, the tragedy and the victory of a life lived in service to a cause that began in his childhood and continues to this day.
