About this listen
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.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Reading the book was like a documentary
Gives a clear view of how the Khalistan philosophy was promoted and used by political parties. Current generation needs to know this, I imagine the information here is technically correct given the author’s position within the intelligence organisation.
Though I read the book but at times it felt a bit dry and written more like a documentary. This is not a easy read and at times the reader gets bored with the writing style and the documentary style data presented.
Adwait, who has narrated need to get his pronunciation correct in a lot of situations. Toronto has a specific pronunciation, Sikhs is not pronounced as ‘Seekhs’, it is a short ‘I’ with a pronounced ‘k’. Listening to the audio performance let the book down to a certain extent.
