His book From Nothing to Everything, charts his rags to riches story from the time of his birth in Gujranwala (now Pakistan) to his present day life in Britain. The book begins with the dramatic flight from the ancestral home during the turmoil of the partition of India in 1947 and describes the assassination of his father www.shaheednanaksingh.com who was a freedom fighter and opposed the break-up of India on the basis of religion. The hardship he underwent during his childhood are documented along with the pivotal role played by his mother, who worked as a teacher and was responsible in shaping him into a fine upstanding individual.
