About the Book
"This biography illustrates the life of wife and daughter of Late Major SJS Randhawa, KC". He attained martyrdom in 1997 while fighting Anti-National Elements in the erstwhile state of Jammu Kashmir. After his demise, his wife, Lt Col RJ Randhawa became the First War Widow to join the Army. She paved a path where there was none and inspired Veer Naari’s to come. Her daughter lost her father and grappled with a fatherless existence. Never knowing your father means there is a part of you that you will never know. It means knowing the cost of freedom. This book is about selfless bravery, pain, and loss. This book tells the story of families of fallen soldiers, for it’s not just a life that’s lost. It’s the story of the unseen Cost Of War, the cost borne by the families of every soldier that is sacrificed for the greater good. This is the Cost Of War."

An artist at heart, words aren't her only muse. She’s an accomplished painter and speaks as vibrantly with brushes as with a pen.

Simran studied at Simon Fraser University Canada and received numerous accolades for her work with victims of violence. She received the Woman of the Year Award, 2019."
