The man who saved Punjab for India
Many great men played a role in its independence; these were Netaji Subash Chandra Bose and his INA, Mahatma Gandhi, Veer Savarkar, Chandrashekhar Azad among others. But it was only and only Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel who unified the independent princely states and founded the Union of India.When the greatest danger occurred to the Union which was in the form of terrorism for secession of Punjab from India, it was Prime Minister PV Narsimha Rao along with Sardar Beant Singh, the former Chief Minister of Punjab, who prevented that secession and ultimately helped preserve the Union. Rao and Beant Singh achieved that through the paramount cop of the country Sardar Kanwar Pal Singh Gill.This book is about the making of The SuperCop KPS Gill, gives account how Kps Gill was rises by his mother how she teaches him about Sikhism, School day when he decided to become a Police officer, College days,1958–1984 When he was posted in Northern India (Assam and Meghalaya states) where he earned the title of “Supercop” because of his leadership and quick decision undergoing the infiltration from the Bangladesh (Which made me realise that if congress govt weren't spineless, they could have stop the infiltration with the help of Kps Gill),1984–1995 Director General of Police from 1988 to 1990 and then again from 1991 until his retirement from the Indian Police Service in 1995, Where he executed his Gill Plan or I should say operation black thunder. When the police had sort of forbidden themselves from any operation in the Golden Temple, which, Gill says, is contrary to all laws of policing because to tackle illegal activities the police have a right to enter wherever those illegal activities are happening. Thus it was these circumstances which had turned Golden Temple into a safe sanctuary for terrorists. He broke back bone of the Khalistani Terrorism in Punjab, In the last days of terrorism, militants issued diktats that there should be no music shows, baraat at weddings should be restricted to 11 people only there should be no serving of liquor, no meat, etc. Mr Gill used to say to his men, "Terrorists ask for this, we will do the opposite." A night show was organised in Tarn Taran, the heartland of terrorism; liquor and meat was served, music was played at high volume till 4 am. Gill himself remained in the show till the end. It was to cheer up the public and build their trust, throughout these years people used to lock themselve in their houses after 5PM because of the terrorists.2002 As security advisor to Narendra Modi. Mr Gill again proved right what Mr Modi said to him in his first meeting, "Without cops like you there can be no democracies, there can be no political leaders and there can be no kings."And the writer has also explained the truth behind allegations of human right violation by police.Overall a good read, go for the book if you want to read about KPS Gill, the book is not well written, could have been more artistic to do justice to the person being written about. But one must adopt the leadership qualities like KPS Gill.

Good to read about one of the lesser known side of one of significant personalities of India
The product was in a good condition, packaging was intact, paper quality was nice.The book is an insight into life of one of the most important police officers of India. KPS Gill may be a controversial figure but this book presents story from his perspective. The situation of Northeast India during 1960s and 1970s was explosive. Similar was Punjab during 1980s. Gill had opportunity to alter the future of law and order in both these regions. He portrayed his integrity, righteousness and leadership abilities in extremely tough situations. He was embroiled in human rights violations controversy. The reader should read the book with open mind and be ready to listen to lesser known facts.The writing style is very fluid, it is simple English and many a times one might feel that incidents could have been described in a better way. But the author Rahul Chandan deserves appreciation for bringing Gill's story to present youth who ought to know about their leaders and country more.

Unjustifiable account of a great man
Unfortunately, the book could have been presented in a much better manner by the author and does not justify the life of India’s arguably most decorated cop.On several occassions, it seems like the author was writing an answer to question paper. Vocab and syntax are poor.Giving 3 stars purely because of the personality himself, larger than life, the great KPS Gill.

One of the best book.
One of the best book I've ever read multiple times. MR. Gill has shown an examplary leadership to the world in those brutal times. One of the few men worth following.
