It was informed that the 600-page-book had been written by Khalid Ali, a prominent writer, journalist and a grand son of Jauhars, who resides in the US. He said no one else than Khalid Ali could throw light on the lives and achievements of Ali brothers in a more authentic way and its launch at a venue named after the great reformer and educationist Sir Syed Ahmed Khan would be the most appropriate occasion.
