THE RACE OF MY LIFE: An Autobiography - Softcover

Most fantastic autobiography I have read in my entire life. It has been written in very simple language but you will be able to connect to every word written in this book. The part of Milkha Singh we all saw in the film was just a summary of his life. Please read this book if you want a deep insight into his life. A very emotional and very motivating heart touching autobiography. Proud to be born in a country were legend Milkha Singh lives. I preordered this book and want to thank Flipkart for delivering this book before expectation. --Rahul Shukla Jul 29, 2013

I got this book through Pre order from the publisher. Fantastic book, written in a simple manner, yet short and to the point. All youngsters must read this, a good inspirational book and helps inculcate discipline and leadership qualities in teenagers Once you start, you wont put tit down until you finish. Took jut three days to complete, apart from spending 14 hours at office. you just can't put it down. So sad to know the bureaucracy in Indian Sports. What a tough journey this Legend has been through, yet stands apart with all his achievements --Byresh Gowda Jul 29, 2013

One of the best book i have read. Milkha Singh's Biography is very Inspiring. Every Sportsmen and youngster should read this book. Government should try to include Mr. Milkhaji's story in childrens syllabus and start promoting sports in the schools. While going through the book i felt that, Milkha singh is not only great Athlete but very Charming personality and wonderful Human being. Reading about his struggle from Childhood till his Youth was very heart touching. My heart is deeply touched and i am again charged up to face Life with Positive Attitude --Vinod Chaugule Jan 21, 2015

Running is synonymous with the name Milkha Singh in India. After witnessing most of his family being killed in the violence that followed the India-Pakistan Partition, he lived with his sister. A short while in a refugee camp in Purana Quila followed by some time at a resettlement colony in Shadara, Delhi, led to Milkha realizing he was confused by life. Disillusioned by life, he considered becoming a dacoit but applied for the Indian Army under his brother s persuasion. Four attempts later, he got in. It was during his posting at Secundrabad that he was introduced to athletics, and discovered his life s true calling. A gold medal at the commonwealth games, and several Olympic games later, Milkha Singh was the stuff of legend. The Race of My Life is the story of an orphan who has been running all his life, and the face of Indian Sports for nearly forty years
