Imran Khan has also talked about his grand mother in the book who was the most famous among the children of the family as she used to support them in everything and the children found it easy to talk with their grand mother than parents. The only thing that his mother was strict about was home work which was compulsory for Imran Khan to complete or he was not allowed to play, he had to go to school everyday as there was no other way but he used to disguise his Quran teacher and went outside to play cricket while the Maulvi Sabab had to sit and wait for hours. After completing A-levels from Pakistan he went to UK for higher studies. He did not get settled initially and wanted to come back home but his mother was always there to support him calling him everyday. He got settled after a year or so and his close friends included Benazir Bhutto and Vikram Mehta.
His family was a religious one and his father had a strong belief on Sufism. In those days how Imran Khan did perceive religion is explained by him. “My mother always knew that I used to hate anything that I had to do by force. Whenever they tried to force me and become a good Muslim the more I resisted but saying that religion has always given me strength.” His mother used to tell him stories of British who invaded Sub Continent and her mother taught him one quote that remain with him all his life and it was the quote of Tipu Sultan, the famous emperor “Its better to live one day as Lion, then to live 100 years as a Wolf.’ Majid Khan was his childhood hero but fate brought him at a stage when he had to drop Majid Khan from the team, this obviously hampered the relations between the two. One good thing that happened was that Imran didn’t drink ever following Majid Khan.
He witnessed both the Indo-Pak wars as a youngster and has generally described it in the book as well. In 1965 during the war days, for the protection of the Zaman Park, a defense force was formed by the committee of which he wanted to be a part of but could not as he was ineligible as he was too young. He was impressed by the zeal and enthusiasm of the public during the war. In 1971 during the fall of Dhaka he was bitterly disappointed. Before the army operation he was one of the people who were on the last flight and saw the tensions between the people. Ashraf Ul Haq was the captain of the under -19 team back then and later became a good friend of Imran Khan told him such astonishing stories and facts that he was sure Pakistan will lose half of its part soon. He never again believed what the governments told to people and decided he will believe what the general public views were.
Imran Khan was a big fan of Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto and called him nationalist. He was impressed by the speech of Bhutto in the 1965 United Nations meeting. In his views Bhutto could not achieve what he was capable of as the land lord culture in the country was a big hurdle. He criticized the decision of Bhutto to privatize the schools and industry as it turned out to be a disaster. In 1979 when Bhutto was hanged Imran Khan was in Srilanka when he got the news and became very sad. In the same year Iran was revolutionized and Russia entered Afghanistan and Imran Khan has talked about them in detail. Zia-Ul-Haq was now the president of Pakistan and Imran had to interact with him as the captain of Pakistani Cricket team.. In 1987 it was General Zia who asked Imran Khan on TV to take back his retirement and continue as the captain. Zia also asked Imran to join the National Assembly which he refused.
