The Sweetest Revenge - Time article on Tara Singh

This article was published in the Time on April 27, 1953 about SardarTara Singh (not Master Tara Singh).
It is an amazing story, something I could not have even imagined.

Here is an extract.
But Sardar Tara Singh put a protective arm around the girl. "I will treat her in a way which will bring the sweetest revenge upon the wicked Moslems." he said. "I will bring her up as a Moslem, and restore her to her relatives when she grows up. And she will be as pure as the white snows of the Himalayas. That will teach the Moslems that a Sikh is pious in peacetime, just as he is invincible in war."

Do read the last paragraphy on p2 of the story.
