Description

The author, a former Special Secretary of India’s external intelligence agency, the Research and Analysis Wing (R&AW) of the Cabinet Secretariat, examines a series of interconnected events that led to the rise of the Khalistan movement, Operation Blue Star, the assassination of Prime Minister Indira Gandhi in 1984 and the anti-Sikh violence unleashed thereafter. With a timeline that moves from seven years before to a decade after 1984, the book strives to answer critical questions that continue to linger till today.

The narrative moves from Punjab to Canada, the US, Europe and Delhi, looking to sift the truth from political obfuscation and opportunism, examining the role that the ruling party allegedly played, and the heart-rending violence that devoured thousands of innocent lives in its aftermath

About the Author

After twenty-six years in the R&AW, G.B.S. Sidhu retired as special secretary in the R&AW in 1998. His book Sikkim: Dawn of Democracy (2018) talks about his role in the state’s 1975 merger with India, when he was head of the R&AW station at Gangtok.
