I read with a hungry curiosity what is sparsely written online about the ‘Poles in India’, as the 600 Polish kids came to be called. I dwell, rather patriotically, on the enigma that is India. There are many things we haven’t done right as a country, but in one magnanimous act of kindness, at a time when the rest of the world was on a killing spree, ‘Hindustan’ quietly gave 600 innocent children shelter and a second chance at life.
