Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Punjab went through a politically turbulent period between 1978 and 1994, triggered by the rift between Sikhs and Nirankaris, and fuelled by the operations Blue Star, Woodrose and Black Thunder I and II. Narrated as an eyewitness account by Ramesh Inder Singh, then the district magistrate of Amritsar, and later the chief secretary of Punjab, this book affords an insider's view of the events that ignited the strife and created the socio-political fault lines that divided Punjab in those years. It also describes the terrorist violence in Punjab, the state response to the military operations, the death of thousands of innocent citizens, the shocking assassination of Prime Minister Indira Gandhi and the subsequent lynching of close to 3,000 Sikhs in the national capital of Delhi, which set in motion a devastating ethno-national movement in Punjab. Based on extensive research and first-hand accounts of those who lived through those volcanic years, Turmoil in Punjab: Before and After Blue Star is an eye-opening narrative of the genesis of the Punjab conflict, the rise of radicalism and the Khalistanis, and the elimination of militancy from the state.

Book excerpt: A riveting volume that paints politics and politicians in their true colours! A candid, hard-hitting and incisive work that throws light on crucial events in post-independence India – focusing on Punjab, Haryana and the Emergency – that had serious repercussions for the nation . . . As a seasoned journalist, B. K. Chum, who was a witness to history-in-the-making for more than six decades, has gone ‘behind closed doors’ to unearth secrets that politicians prefer to keep hidden. Beginning with Punjab in the early 1950s, when the Akalis demanded a separate Punjabi-speaking state, Chum recounts how the resultant turmoil led to the state being split on the basis of language. He moves on to describe the terrorism years, which had disastrous consequences for the nation. In the process, he reveals how an unholy nexus between the Congress leader Giani Zail Singh and the Sikh preacher-turned-extremist Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale, to counter the Akalis, led to indiscriminate killings and widespread bloodshed and also to the marginalization of the moderate Akalis such as Sant Harchand Singh Longowal, Parkash Singh Badal and Surjit Singh Barnala. Chum details how the extremists took control of the Golden Temple at Amritsar, necessitating Operation Bluestar, which resulted in the subsequent assassination of Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. He details the efforts made to root out terrorism and how it was eventually wiped out after Beant Singh, who took over as Punjab chief minister in February 1992, appointed K. P. S. Gill to tackle the menace. Coming to the sleazy politics of Haryana that gave the country’s political lexicon the term ‘Aya Ram Gaya Ram’, Chum traces the vicissitudes of this state in the political sphere right from its coming into existence in November 1966. He also provides fascinating sketches of some of the shrewdest politicians of the state such as Bansi Lal, Devi Lal, Bhajan Lal, Om Prakash Chautala and Bhupinder Singh Hooda. The author gives a round-up of the various developments in Punjab and Haryana in the 1990s and in the new millennium, which include, apart from the positive aspects, shady land deals, money-related scams, sex scandals and the pivotal role played by dynastic politics. The author’s behind-the-scenes revelations of the murky goings-on during the Emergency make for enthralling reading. He discloses how the main perpetrators of the Emergency – led by Sanjay Gandhi – were planning to take over the country and run it according to their whims and fancies.

It shows how the terror was spawned, sustained and then suppressed behind those barriers. Probing the connections between mass atrocities and the miasma of hegemonic narratives, the book demonstrates that a socially deliberative space of plural understanding of political conflicts is the first prerequisite for the rectification of all abuses of power. Coming from a witness and the biographer of Punjab's recent history who remains dedicated to people's rights to truth, justice and reparation, the book deserves the attention not only of the students of political conflict and the media but also the community of human rights activists, academics and others who grapple with the issues of historical accountability worldwide.
