Sikh Rajniti Vich Ativad

Violence, Military, extremism, or terrorism takes over the a nation's polity when political forces either fail to resolve politico-social and religion-regional problems or deliberately choose to side track these problems. So it happened in Sikh-Punjab politics in the four post-independence decades in the state of Punjab. This violence both by Sikh militants and counter violence by the Indian state, took a heavy toll of precious human lives and resulted in large scale arson and massacre. This book traces the origin, proliferation of violence, its principal actors and its aftermath. The narration is analytical but slightly judgmental as it squarely blames the Indian state and the major political party, the Congress, for the induction of violence in Punjab politics
