Deprived of a formal education himself Girdhari Lal took up the challenge of providing education to the children of a resurgent India in the post-Partition era . An honest successful and respected businessman Girdhari Lal had his first tryst with discrimination when his children were denied education in good schools because he was a carpenter. It was a turning point in his life and he faced the situation head-on reviving a dying institute in Peshawar through his personal resources and renaming it Salwan Sanatan Dharam High School in 1942. During the period of communal clashes he opened up his house to refugees. Even after losing his eldest son to communal rage in Peshawar and being uprooted from his home he took to the task of resettling refugees in Delhi with a passion. He was allocated land in Rajendra Nagar where he built the first Salwan School in independent India in 1949. After that there was no looking back and he created a beautiful integrated campus of schools at the same location. A worthy life was cut short in 1964 on account of illness but Girdhari Lal has left behind a rich legacy of achievements that are today being spearheaded by the Salwan Education Trust and the successive generations of his family.We all know Bhupen Hazarika as a singer-composer poet and lyricist non-pariel. What about the man behind the legend? Told through the lens of Kalpana Lajmi Bhupen Hazarika: As I knew Him is a free-flowing memoir moving back and forth across time defying description much like the love story it narrates. It is the story of a unique bond of the coming together of two talented artistes of a man who used his art as an instrument of social change who was charismatic and passionate and a woman a fierce feminist who has never cared much about societal norms and yet who could never turn away from him despite his mercurial ways his unreasonable tantrums and his unwillingness to recognize her as a companion.
