Book Synopsis Faith, Gender, and Activism in the Punjab Conflict by : Mallika Kaur
Download or read book Faith, Gender, and Activism in the Punjab Conflict written by Mallika Kaur and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-01-14 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

There are many dishes you will enjoy, too like Dal Makhni (black lentil dal), Chole Bhature (chick pea curry and flatbread) and Sarson ka Saag (vegetarian greens & spices), and more. The lush fields of the Punjab region offer many ingredients to traditional dishes. The food of Punjabis is much like the people themselves - robust, rich and full of life. Tandoori food in its most authentic form comes from Punjab today. Even though there are five rivers in the region, Punjabi dishes don't include much seafood. They do consume a great deal of milk. They also specialize in many kinds of tasty breads, since their region produces a lot of wheat. Punjabi food is usually cooked with clarified butter (ghee) and spices like cumin, coriander powder and garam masala spice blend are frequently used. Want to try your hand at some of these dishes?

Book Synopsis Emperor of the Five Rivers by : Mohamed Sheikh
Download or read book Emperor of the Five Rivers written by Mohamed Sheikh and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2017-03-17 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1801, at the age of just 20 years old, Ranjit Singh became the Maharaja of the Punjab Empire and subsequently became one of the greatest figures in the history of India. He was a fiercely brave leader, capturing the city of Lahore before becoming Maharaja and overcoming a variety of challenges during his 40-year rule, such as harsh terrain, an ethnically and religiously diverse population and strong aggressors including the British and the Afghans. Despite such challenges, Ranjit Singh was able to unite Punjab's various factions yet rule a nation that was strictly secular; the Maharaja was benevolent to his subjects no matter their ethnicity or religion and sought to promote interfaith unity through policies of equality and non-discrimination. Aside from building his own nation, Ranjit built solid strategic relations with his most challenging aggressor - the British. Through stamina and political will, he managed to establish a formal treaty between the two and secured from 1809 Britain's protection against third party attempts to conquer the Punjab. Following Ranjit Singh's death in 1839, the Empire fell into decline. Just six years later, the Punjabis attacked the British, and in 1845 they were beaten and forced to sign the Treaty of Lahore, essentially conceding control to the British.Ranjit Singh's personal characteristics and leadership skills were what held the Punjab nation together in a tumultuous period in history. Mohamed Sheikh's new account of Singh's life illustrates these characteristics and skills and illuminates the man who singlehandedly created and sustained the Empire.

Book Synopsis Memories of Madness by : Khushwant Singh
Download or read book Memories of Madness written by Khushwant Singh and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2002-09-11 with total page 550 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Independence for India, in 1947, came with a price: division on the basis of religion. In the communal riots that followed, hundreds of thousands were killed and millions rendered homeless. And the tragic legacy of Partition haunts the subcontinent even today. Memories of Madness brings together works by three leading writers who witnessed the insanity of those months. Train to Pakistan, Khushwant Singh’s debut novel, tells the story of a village in Punjab, Mano Majra, where Muslims and Sikhs have co-existed peacefully, till one night in 1947, when a ghost train arrives from across the new border, bearing corpses of butchered refugees. As mistrust grows into hate and the people of Mano Majra lose their humanity, it is left to an outcast, a Sikh dacoit in love with a Muslim girl, to avert another carnage. Bhisham Sahni’s Tamas is a harrowing portrait of a small frontier town in the grip of communal frenzy. Based on the author’s own experience of riots in Rawalpindi, this celebrated novel describes the murder and mayhem triggered off by the discovery of a pig’s carcass outside a mosque. The matchless stories of Saadat Hasan Manto, the greatest short story writer in the Urdu language, round off this collection. In addition to his most famous story, ‘Toba Tek Singh’, the selection includes ten other sketches and stories in which Manto turns his unflinching gaze on history's criminals, victims and unlikely heroes. As moving as they are disturbing, the stories in this volume are of immense relevance in these times, for they constitute a chilling reminder of the consequences of communal politics.
Download or read book The Punjab Story written by Amarjit Kaur and published by Roli Books Private Limited. This book was released on 2012-08-10 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 6 June 1984: The Indian Army storms the Golden Temple in Amritsar. Called Operation Bluestar, the historic and unprecedented event ended the growing spectre of terrorism perpetrated by the extremist Sikh leader Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale and his followers once and for all. But it left in its wake unsolved political questions that continued to threaten Punjab's stability for years to come. How, in a brief span of three years, did India's dynamic frontier state become a national problem? Who was to blame: the central government for allowing the crisis to drift despite warnings, or the long-drawn-out Akali agitation, or the notorious gang of militants who transformed a holy shrine into a sanctuary for terrorists? First published two months after Operation Bluestar, The Punjab Story pieces together the complex Punjab jigsaw through the eyes of some of India's most eminent public figures and journalists. Writing with the passion and conviction of those who were involved with the drama, they present a wide-ranging perspective on the past, present and future of the Punjab tangle; and the truth of many of their'conclusions having been borne out by time.
Download or read book The Village written by M. Mansoor and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2014-08-14 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is an adaptation from the field work and dissertation conducted in late 1980s in a Punjabi village in Pakistan. With special attention to the communal rites and rituals, this book studies the life and culture of the village where society has undergone a sea of change in recent years. The old culture, characterized by the distinct rules, rites, rituals, and ceremonies continues to be fading fast, being replaced by a mass culture enabled by media and other agents of change. The focus of the book is not the new culture; it is the old one that has been there for thousands of years and continues to thrive to a certain extent in many parts of Punjab. Based on one of the first scientific fieldwork-based Anthropological studies conducted in that part of Punjab, this book presents a fascinating snapshot of life and culture of a typical Pakistani Punjabi village.
