Description

Panjab Journeys Through Fault Lines by Amandeep Sandhu is a thought-provoking exploration of a region in crisis. The author's personal connection to Panjab, though tenuous, drives him to delve into the state's complex history and present-day struggles. Through three years of investigation, Sandhu uncovers a land that defies his preconceived notions and the stories he had heard. He examines the ecological and economic challenges facing Panjab, including the devastating effects of the Green Revolution and the ongoing impact of militancy. The author also delves into the crisis of Sikhism in the state, where traditional spiritual guidance is scarce. This revised edition includes a new chapter on the 2020-21 farmers' struggle, highlighting the enduring spirit of resistance that still pulses through Panjab's unyielding landscape.
