Village people in the Punjab have lived with the terror of the
conflict between Sikh militants and Indian security forces since
the attack on the Sikh Golden Temple in 1984. In this remarkable
book, a courageous anthropologist who knows the region intimately
presents a very human portrait of the struggle. She argues that,
despite its apparent defeat, it can only be in abeyance while the
root causes, which have prompted so many young Sikhs to take up
arms and fight for an independent Khalistan, remain unaddressed.
Through the skilful use of interviews, Dr Pettigrew takes us into
the worlds of Punjabi farmers, Sikh militants, and the police
commanders responsible for containing a vicious conflict whose
ramifications have spilled beyond the Punjab into wider Indian
politics.
