Book released to coincide with the World Refugee Day

Houston Area Surgeon Releases Incredibly Moving Memoir Recounting Aftermath of Indo-Pakistani War of 1971
 
HOUSTON - June 20, 2020 - PRLog -- The Boy Refugee, by Khawaja Azimuddin, M.D., is the story of the author and his family attempting to live their day to day life, their trials and tribulations, their hopes and fears, following relocation from their home in Pakistan to a POW camp in Northern India for over two years.

This story was paramount for Azimuddin to convey for decades; while little has been written about the Indo-Pakistani War of 1971 and the ensuing genocide, even less has been told about the fate of 93,000 POWs of the aftermath of the war, the largest number of POWs taken during any war in history, with the exception of World War II. Readers follow Azimuddin as a young boy aged eight to ten during his family's years in captivity, spending their time in a caged internment camp, guarded day and night by soldiers, under dismal living conditions.

"I believe that the contents of my story are as relevant today as they were 49 years ago. The world still struggles with the refugee crisis and faces similar humanitarian disasters from mass migration, displacement, and forced relocation. We, the civilized nations, have a moral obligation to help these refugees who are trapped in desperate situations. I hope my book will bring more awareness to the refugee crisis and show the human element in the refugee story," says Azimuddin.

Beautifully written and full of highly motivational and inspiring moments of triumph and perseverance, The Boy Refugee is a significant addition to any readers' library but also those with a strong interest in human rights or the history of the Indian subcontinent from the late 20th century.

The Boy Refugee, published by Austin Macauley, will be released on June 20th, 2020. Price: $10.95, ISBN: 9781645361190. It will be available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and in other bookstores throughout the country. Advance review copies are available upon request.
