Mallika Kaur

4.9/5 (25674 ratings)

Description:Brings together personal narrative, oral history, and scholarly rigor to offer a new perspective on an understudied conflictDraws on a wide range of primary sources, including videos, legal forensics, and other materials from at-risk, near-extinct archivesAppeals to scholars, students, and activists interested in South Asian studies, oral history, memory studies, gender and conflict, transitional justice, Sikh culture and history, and the history of postcolonial India.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 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 of faith, feminist action, and the power of citizen-activists.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
