Jasbir Kaur's husband Major Kanwaljit Singh was posted at the Hussainiwala sector when war broke out in 1971. He was captured by Pakistan and there has been no news of him since.

Jasbir, now 52, raised her children with the help of relatives, against all odds.

"I long to see my husband before I close my eyes forever," she says, wiping her tears.

On Gandhi Jayanti, she joined the relatives of 54 missing POWs on a march from Jantar Mantar in Delhi. "You know how it feels when you lose a loved one. Every occasion is incomplete without him."
