I was born in a small village Shergarh, Tehsil & District Hoshiarpur, Punjab. According to the school record my date of birth is January 20, 1937. My parents were poor belonging to a low caste according to the caste system in India.
With the blessings and kindness of my mother and father and the help of my brothers and sisters, sisters-in-law and others I passed my Matriculation Examination in 1953 and Pre-University in 1964.
We tried our best to get some job but due-to poverty and lack of some good approach (Siffarish) and also little education, it took a long time to get a job. In the first instance I was appointed as an Asstt. Clerk on temporary basis in the Irrigation Department, Punjab. Before getting a job my family circumstances were so bad that we had hardly any money and other things to live by. At that time we were four members in our family i.e. mother, myself, my wife and my elder son (Dev Raj), as my father had passed away when I was studying in school. In those days there were plenty of hardships for us.
