Leaderless Punjab by: K S Chawla

admin user — Fri, 02 Jan 2026 13:21:47 +0000

This book covers the major political and social events of the Punjab during the last few years. It reflects the pain of Punjabis on the situation in Punjab which has become rudderless and hence directionless; the youth is either falling victim to the drugs and gangsterism or running away to settle abroad, disillusioned with the political leaders who have no other vision than to make money through corrupt practices. The Sikh leadership is divided into a number of factions and is struggling for survival. It is an interesting and useful reading to understand the present-day situation of Punjab.

admin user — Fri, 02 Jan 2026 12:46:40 +0000

This book offers a comprehensive account of Gurdwaras associated with the ten Sikh Gurus, along with other significant sites linked to the sacrifices and memories of Sikh martyrs. It is not merely a catalogue of religious places, but a detailed historical and cultural mapping of Sikh heritage across the Indian subcontinent and beyond. What makes this work especially significant is its commitment to inclusive geography-it traverses both sides of the border, documenting Gurdwaras not only in East Punjab and other Indian states but also in West Punjab, Sindh, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Balochistan, and Azad Jammu & Kashmir, all of which are part of present-day Pakistan.

In The Service of Free India: Memoir of a Civil Servant by: B.D. Pande

admin user — Sun, 03 Jul 2022 06:38:39 +0000

In the decades following 1947, as the tallest national leaders were building a new India, they were supported by a band of idealistic civil servants fiercely committed to the country’s Constitution and its people. Among these remarkable officers was Bhairab Datt Pande. After retirement, he was governor of West Bengal during the resurgence of Naxalism in the early 1980s, and of Punjab in 1983–84–a tragic and turbulent year in the history of the state and the nation. Pande chose to resign as governor rather than carry out unconstitutional orders. His compelling narration of the behind-the-scenes events and negotiations leading up to the Anandpur Sahib Resolution and Operation Bluestar is of great value. Engaging and inspiring in equal measure, this memoir is both a fascinating record of an extraordinary life and an important and revealing historical document.
