was also a renowned naturalist. As a young prince he went along with his
father Akbar on his campaign in Kashmir. There he fell in love with the

As a boy, I was very fond of an old soldier in our little town. He had only
one leg, having lost the other leg somewhere in Assam in 1942. He used to
sit on the bank of our small river and tell me about his adventures. He told
me that he had run away from home to join the army when he was 18. He
had experienced his first battle in the Libyan desert in the Second World
War. He used to tell me dozens of war stories, but the one I liked the best
was the one of his escape from a Japanese prisoner of war camp in Burma.
He told me again and again how he walked 200 meters in two weeks. On
the way, he was bitten on the toe by a poisonous snake and he had to cut off
part of the toe in order to survive. But the wound did not heal and by the
time he got to an Indian camp, it had turned septic. And the leg had to be cut
off. He is apparently quite contented with his lot. He says that his pension is
enough for his needs : and the fish he catches and sells provides him the
money for his entertainment.
