THE VALIANT Jaswant Singh Khalra is a richly illustrated book by Gurmeet Kaur that takes young readers on a fascinating and inspiring journey through the life and times of the iconic human rights activist Jaswant Singh Khalra (1952 – 1995), who was tortured and brutally murdered in custody for valiantly standing for the hapless victims of state oppression.
