I have heard good words about him from Indians and Pakistanis. I hope he finds peace.

It was unusual for an Indian defence journalist to visit the Pakistan Air Force, but such was his reputation and fair-mindedness there were no issues. Pushy told me on several occasions how he enjoyed his time there, and the PAF still remember him.

Nice to see a pic of my friend Pushpindar Singh on the wall at the fantastic PAF Museum this afternoon. It appeared under the Sherdils aerobatic team section.
