Paperback. Zustand: Good. 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. …

Hardcover. Zustand: New. The terror in Punjab was not created in a vacuum. The events of the early eighties were the spark that ignited the fire; but it was fuelled by the deliberate distortion of the message of Sikhism by those who had donned the mantle of Sikh leadership in this century. This leadership had seized control of Sikh shrines, and set itself up as the final arbiter of the Faith. However, this was not enough to satisfy the powerlust of these petty men. They used the Gurudwaras as a stepping stone to an even more lucrative destination: the state legislature. They cloaked political demands in a religious garb, and for decades propounded a creed of hatred, swearing at every turn in the political circus that the Panth was 'imperilled.' This venomous rhetoric was adopted and translated into action by the terrorists who eventually captured the communal plank. When the time came to reap the whirlwind, the 'leaders of the faith' simply abdicated responsibility and handed over the holiest of Sikh shrines to murderers and rapists. The murderers and rapists are now gone. But the leaders and the institutions that produced the malignancy of terror again occupy centre-stage in the politics of Punjab. Are we condemned to repeat the ruinous cycle of the past.…

Paperback. Zustand: New. Language: English. About The Book: The geopolitics of South Asia makes it one of the most dangerous places to live in today. The collapse of the Soviet Union has destabilised longestablished cold war equations and unleashed violent processes of transformation, of jockeying for power and control, and of neocolonial and political adventurism. Terrorism is at the heart of the new paradigms of covert aggression that underlies these processes, and this scourge is spreading across the Indian subcontinent in an everwidening arc that constitutes an immense threat, specifically to the security, stability and integrity of the nations within this region, and to world peace in general.The challenge confronting India demands a systematic approach to terrorism premised on the clear and certain realization that there are no quick and easy short cuts to resolving the problem. What is required, consequently, is an undertanding, not only to the immediate ground situation and the proximate alignment of forces, but of the larger context of each crisis, of the ideological and strategic perspectives of the parties in conflict, and of the imperatives of history.These are the demands of the new 'great game' that is afoot in South and Central Asia today. The players in this venture recognize neither law nor convention, nor, indeed, international borders or national sovereignty. And they are as cynical, as dangerous and as ambitious as the colonial adventurers who embarked on the other 'great game' in this region more than a century ago. Worse, they and their surrogates are armed with weapons that are infinitely more destructive.This book examines many of the deeper linkages, the less obvious implications of a range of terrorist movements, lowintensity war and internal conflicts in India today.
