All Indian Air Force Pilots are capable and well-read and educated, however, to identify a visionary person such as Ramanand Sagar during adversity perhaps only could be done by another visionary as the Pilot who later went out to be the Chief Minister of Orrisa, for the pilot of that Airlift was none other than Biju Patnaik. However Ramanand Sagar would not let go off it, the two entered into a verbal spat ending in enraging the pilot who threw open the trunk because of which its contents came out, upon seeing what was inside the trunk the pilot suddenly recognized Ramanand Sagar, the man who was already famous by then for write-ups such as Maut Ke Bistar Se or Diary Of A TB Patient for a Lahore daily, because the trunk which the pilot had thrown away had contained several pages of the yet to be published novel Aur Insaan Mar Gaya.
