Answer:
paragraph about major langlands
So, the splendid old gent is finally retiring. I knew him briefly some quarter-century ago when he was merely old; now he is 94 and trading an enchanted mountain paradise in the former princely state of Chitral for the hot, Punjabi flatlands down-country.
Major Geoffrey Langlands began teaching in England in 1936, the year in which Kipling died. He was sent to India as a serviceman in the Second World War, and then he stayed on…and on.
By the time that I met him, he had already taught for twenty-five-odd years at Aitchison College in Lahore, the Eton of India and later Pakistan; an Indo-baronial pile almost resembling an Oxbridge College.
“I’d spent quite a while dragging the fat sons of maharajahs on forced marches up and down the hills when I decided to retire,” he recalled. “But President Zia (Zia ul Haq, Pakistan’s military dictator in the 1980s) said ‘You can’t go back to England, we need you here.’ Of course, England had changed a lot, so I went to teach in Razmak.”
