Preface To 'Bhagat Lakshman Singh' By Ganda Singh

For some years past some of my friends, particularly Mr. Saint Nihal Singh, Professor Teja Singh and Professor Ganda Singh Khalsa College, Amritsar, have been pressing me to write an account of my fairly long life and of my varied activities to their demand trusting that it will prove, as they think, an interesting reading.

As some one has said, truth is stranger than fiction. The events I am recording are simple, unexaggerated and stern facts will show beyond question that despite all assertiveness and resourcefulness of man, there is such a thing as predestined law, call it luck, fortune or anything you may, which governs his minutest concerns, guards him during his voyage over life's 'solemn main' overcoming the fury of winds and storms, takes his vessel safely across and sees it nestled in the appointed haven.
