The Kaurs of 1984 : The Untold, Unheard Stories of Sikh Women

In the aftermath of Operation Blue Star and the anti-Sikh violence of 1984, a young researcher delves deep into the untold stories of Sikh women who endured unimaginable horrors. Sanam Sutirath Wazir's poignant journey takes him across northern India, where he listens to the harrowing testimonies of these women—rape survivors, witnesses to atrocities, and those who lost loved ones in the tumultuous events of that fateful year.

"The Kaurs of 1984" is a powerful testament to their resilience and struggle for justice, illuminating a chapter of history often overlooked. Through meticulous interviews and historical research, Wazir pieces together their fragmented narratives of grief, betrayal, and resilience. These women, who have long been marginalized in the annals of contemporary India, finally step out of the shadows to reclaim their voices and their place in history.

This book not only sheds light on the personal traumas endured by these courageous women but also serves as a compelling call for remembrance and acknowledgment of their experiences during one of India's most turbulent periods.
