==Life==
Sahgal was educated at the Central Model High School and Government College, Lahore.〔''The Forgotten Army'' University of Michigan Press, 1995, page 17〕 In 1936, he passed the military entrance exam and went to the Indian Military Academy at Dehradun.〔''The Forgotten Army'' University of Michigan Press, 1995 page 27〕 He was commissioned as a Second Lieutenant on the Special List published on February 1, 1939 and was attached to the 2nd battalion of the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders, then stationed at Secunderabad. He joined that battalion on 24 February 1939〔July 1939 Indian Army List〕 and remained there for a year. That battalion was posted to Singapore in August 1939, in anticipation of war, but Sahgal was transferred to the 1st battalion West Yorkshire regiment, which remained in a peace station.〔''The Forgotten Army'' University of Michigan Press, 1995 page 29〕
After one year of service, Sahgal took the leave of one month to which he was entitled, and spent time with his family in Lahore. Upon his return, he was posted to the 5th battalion of the 10th Baluch Regiment stationed at Peshawar on the North West Frontier, relatively close to his family and far from the theatres of war.〔''The Forgotten Army'' University of Michigan Press, 1995 page 29/30〕 Shortly afterwards, on 30 April 1940, Sahgal was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant.〔April 1944 Indian Army List〕 He volunteered to be transferred to the 2/10th Baluch Regiment as they were short of officers.〔''The Forgotten Army'' University of Michigan Press, 1995 page 31〕 In October 1940, he reported to the 2nd battalion at Bareilly near Delhi, in the then United Provinces. That regiment sailed for Singapore on October 28, 1940〔History of the Baloch Regiment 1939-56 p 8〕 and landed there on November 11, 1940.〔''The Forgotten Army'' University of Michigan Press, 1995 page 31〕 By December 1941, Sahgal was promoted Acting Captain in the 2/10th Baluch Regiment of the British Indian Army and fought against Japanese forces in Malaya. He served with distinction before being made a Prisoner of War in February 1942.〔Smith pp 543-544〕
