Author Info | - 1948, Calcutta-born, fourth-generation soldier, Bhupender is an alumnus of St
Joseph’s College, Nanital, Central School, Jalandhar, National Defence Academy
(NDA), Kharakvasla and Indian Military Academy (IMA), Dehradun. During his
thirty-seven-year service in the army, he trained troops in mountain and winter
warfare and actively participated in mountaineering, skiing, and other adventure
sports. Life and facilities provided by the army helped him develop an interest in
history, nature, and adventure sports. While pursuing his carrier in the army, his
intense enthusiasm for history impelled him to seek graduation, first in BA and
then MA (History), privately (through a correspondence course) from Punjab
University, Chandigarh. Sikh history had always been a passion for him, but it
was not until he had hung his uniform that he was able to put pen to paper.
