Balwan Singh, a Military Intelligence operator and former sepoy of the 3rd JAK Rifles, returned to India after nine years of torture in Pakistani jails. But has not yet received the promised pension or allowances. Worse, they don’t even acknowledge him, or his work. Singh's is a story of a spy who came in from the cold and who is still in the cold, literally. He sleeps on platform number 11 of the New Delhi Railway station when he is not making rounds of politicians and ministries. His family waits anxiously in Narainpur village in Kathua. He is not sure which is worse, being in Pakistani jails or having to beg before officials here in his own country. The difference, he says, is thin. "In Pak jails, they hung us upside down over a fire and stuck pins in our tongue. Here they make you feel small."
