Sikhs: The Untold Agony of 1984 by Nilanjan Mukhopadhyay

Sikhs: The Untold Agony Of 1984 by Nilanjan Mukhopadhyay
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

A little muddled detailing of the riots in Delhi and other places in India where Sikhs were killed in hundreds after the two Sikh guards of Indira Gandhi assassinated her in 1984.

The author has taken pains to collect a lot of information, meet quite a few people and so that material is fairly comprehensive.

Where the book fails is in the presentation. The presentation is completely non-linear and it reads like some embellished random notes jotted down by someone gathering information from various sources.

It is a history that India would like to forget, but it should not. Just like the Godhra affair and the riots after the Godhra incident this is another event that should be written as part of the black history of India.

Read with the above non-linear expectation.
