Lochan Singh
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sardar Lochan Singh (1892-1996) was an Indian civil engineer and cabinet minister. Born in West Punjab (now Pakistan), he was educated in engineering, first at Queen's College Belfast, and later at the Imperial College, London. He rose through the ranks of the Indian army under the British empire, and later through the civil service of independent India, to become the first post-master general, and later, secretary of state for post and telecommunications.
After the First World War, he married Sushila Toor, the daughter of a prominent judge in the beautiful but volatile state of Jammu and Kashmir. They had three daughters, Saroj, Charlotte and Sarvjeet, all of whom were born in what is now Pakistan, with the exception of Charlotte, who was born in London shortly before the Second World War. All three currently live in New Delhi. Their only Son, Harbir Singh was born in the city of Patna, and currently resides in London.
