“An armed escort?” scoffed the dashing figure in Gurkha side-cap, his uniform ablaze with battle-ribbons. “I don’t need an armed escort in my own country.” Protected by nothing more lethal than his swagger stick, Sam Manekshaw strode into the encampment of 5,000 Pakistani POWs.

All of our work is driven by the core belief that safe roads are a basic human right. “They are the arteries through which all other rights flow.”
