Heartbroken by the partition of his beloved Punjab, Sohan Singh Josh (1925-2012) sailed away to a new country and a new continent at the age of 22, and was already a budding poet by then.
Within a year, he was the rage in local Kavi Mandals in Kenya and at the age of 25 penned the lyrics of his first popular song ’Tute Dil Nahin Jurde’.
He was soon to become the founder and first president of the Punjabi Kavi Sabha of Nairobi - leading him to soon become a prolific and award-winning as an author of his poetry and song writer for the legendary and world-famous Channi Singh of the Alaap Group.
He was even awarded the ‘Genius Laureate of Kenya’ in Poetic Literature and recorded as the ‘500 Greatest Geniuses of the 21st Century’.
