My father, Kailash Nath Goel, was born on 2 January 1923 in Sialkot, British India. He graduated from Murree College, Sialkot with an honours degree in Mathematics receiving the Dux and Youngson Gold Medals.

My paternal grandfather's name was Tej Bhan Goel. I believe that he owned a hardware store.
I was born after the partition in India in Batala, Punjab in my maternal grandparents' house on 25 July 1948.

I had talked to my uncle about this house. His memory was a bit hazy. He said that it was in Puran Nagar and was on a 30 marla plot. It was opposite a big white kothi. He mentioned Paris Road and an orange grove owned by Bashir Ahmed in the vicinity.

I am deeply sad about trending on twitter where you see an islamist mob attacking “a sports equipment factory”, killing a Sri Lankan man and burning his body publicly over allegations of blasphemy …

I am trying to figure out which factory and would be thankful for any background.

Amnesty International is
"deeply alarmed by the disturbing lynching and killing" …

Sialkot is the city where about 80% of the worlds soccer balls are produced (see my reportage).
We experienced great hospitality in the Punjab city …
