Bhai Jaswant Singh Khalra was a human rights activist whose investigation uncovered the disappearance, custodial torture and extra-judicial killing of over 25,000 Sikh men and women by the Punjab Police from 1987 to 1993. This is the story of an immortal defender of human rights, who relentlessly pursued the truth to unmask the impunity and injustices perpetrated by the Indian state. This book not only honours his supreme sacrifice, but also his life and legacy, in the hope that it continues to inspire future generations to come.
