Description
Thirty years after the Indian Government's attack on the Golden Temple in Amritsar, the painful memories of murder, terrorism, and genocide still linger for the Sikh community. In "Reflections on 1984", Harjinder Singh explores the events leading up to this pivotal moment and analyses the pursuit of truth, justice, and liberty for Sikhs in India and the diaspora.
The book delves into the historical context of Operation Blue Star, a military operation that saw the Indian Army's attack on the Sikh holy shrine. With newly disclosed documents by the British Government shedding light on the events prior to and after the operation, Singh examines the current issues affecting Sikhs and Punjabis, including their struggles for justice in both India and abroad.
This thought-provoking book brings a nuanced perspective to the complex history of the Sikh community, shedding light on the ongoing quest for truth and justice that continues to shape their lives today.
