This timely and significant study explores the reasons behind the
rise in Sikh militancy over the 1970s and 1980s. It also evaluates
the violent response of the Indian State in fuelling and
suppressing the Sikh separatist movement, resulting in a tragic
sequence of events which has included the raiding of the Golden
Temple at Amritsar and the assassination of Prime Minister Indira
Gandhi. The book reveals the role in this movement of a section of
young semi-literate Sikh peasantry who were disaffected by the
Green Revolution and the commercialisation of agriculture in
Punjab. Drawing on a wide range of sources, Deol examines the role
of popular mass media in the revitalisation of religion during this
period, and the subsequent emergence of sharper religious
boundaries.
