Terrorism in Punjab
The book presents the people's view of the terrorist fighters for Khalistan—their motivations, traits and activities—and the lived experience in their villages during the period of turmoil. As it comes out, the agenda of the terrorists, which presents a disturbing picture of social disorganisation, appeared to have little correspondence with the discourse of Sikh militancy and the Indian state's labelling of it as a 'secessionist' movement. Based on field study it brings to view an ignored dimension of reality which may raise uncomfortable questions.
