Daddyji  (English, Paperback, Mehta Ved)

Daddyji is, at first glance, a biographical portrait of Amolak Ram Mehta,a distinguished Indian public-health officer, written by his son VedMehta, but in reality, as the story unfolds, it is seen to be a recreation,in crystalline detail, of a whole world—the everyday life of pre-PartitionLahore. Daddyji (1972) is the first book in Mehta’s extraordinary series ofmemoirs, Continents of Exile.
