The Hawk Hunters

Maj General Pushpendra Singh is a retired Army officer who lives at ’Harshabadpuri’ in Panchkula (Chandigarh). He was educated at the Lawrence School, Sanawar and St Columba’s, New Delhi and has a M.Sc. from the Madras University. A national- level horseman, he is also keen on wildlife. He is married with children and three grand-children. In 2012 he teamed up with his artist-wife to publish ＂The Magic Degh＂ (KW Publishers, Delhi) a book of short stories for children. During one of his tenures in J & K he happened to visit the birthplace of Banda Singh Bahadur in Rajouri. Fascinated with this hermit’s success in liberating most of present Punjab and Haryana from the Mughals, he decided to delve deeper into this brilliant military feat which ＂The Hawk Hunters＂ portrays.
