Punjab was the arena of one of the first major armed conflicts of
post-colonial India. During its deadliest decade, as many as
250,000 people were killed. This book makes an urgent intervention
in the history of the conflict, which to date has been
characterized by a fixation on sensational violence-or ignored
altogether. Mallika Kaur unearths the stories of three people who
found themselves at the center of Punjab's human rights movement:
Baljit Kaur, who armed herself with a video camera to record
essential evidence of the conflict; Justice Ajit Singh Bains, who
became a beloved "people's judge"; and Inderjit Singh Jaijee, who
returned to Punjab to document abuses even as other elites were
fleeing. Together, they are credited with saving countless lives.
Braiding oral histories, personal snapshots, and primary documents
recovered from at-risk archives, Kaur shows that when entire
conflicts are marginalized, we miss essential stories: stories of
faith, feminist action, and the power of citizen-activists.
