This book is a biographical narrative inspired by true events from the life of Shihan Shivaji Ganguly. Certain names, locations, and identifying details have been changed or omitted to protect the privacy of individuals. The events and descriptions reflect the perspectives, memories, and interpretations of those involved, and are not intended as factual allegations or judgments about any person or organization, living or deceased. Any resemblance to actual individuals, apart from those expressly identified and publicly associated with Kyokushin Karate, is coincidental.
