In the fifteenth century, the first Sikh Guru, Guru Nanak started the revolution of standing up against tyranny and oppression. Sikhs have carried on this tradition to the present day.

"Love has its ups and downs, it tears and tantrums, but the pangs of separation of a lover and itstears can be life-changing and rejuvenating. Traits of a true lover are to be attentive to the needs of their lover – by being humble, forgiving/accepting and speaking sweet words to their beloved (Bhagat Fareed Jee, 1384 Sri Guru Granth Sahib Jee)."
In 1984 the Indian Government attacked the holiest shrine of the Sikhs in Amritsar, commonly known as the Golden Temple (Harmander Sahib) on the pre-text of flushing out terrorists. 30 years later this attack on the faith & nationhood of the Sikhs still brings up painful memories of murder, terrorism and genocide. In light of newly disclosed documents by the British Government, many questions remain unanswered for the Sikh community about the events prior to and after Operation Blue Star (the Indian Army s attack on the Sikh s holiest shrine in Amritsar). The aim of the book is to explore the events leading up to 1984 and to analyse the pursuit of truth, justice and liberty, for Sikhs in India and the diaspora. The book follows a narrative which is historical and topical, bringing current issues of Sikhs and Punjabi's into the discussion. There is also a focus on Sikhs in the diaspora and current Sikh agitations for justice.

Mothers Day is always of significance to me as a Sikh, as it is a time to be thankful to my spiritual and eternal mother, Mata Sahib Kaur Jee. But, this year in addition to my usual routine with Mata Sahib Kaur Jee, I’ll also be reminiscing about the mothers I have encountered over thelast 30 years, either in person or through my studies of 1984 to 2014. The 30 years anniversary of 1984 and the Sikh genocide are fresh in my mind, for this year’s Mothers day.

"Halloween is a global festival which is cheerfully celebrated with kids trick or treating, people mocking and gimmicking ghosts, ghouls, goblins and demons. For Sikhs on the other hand Halloween carries a real grave significance, of real ghouls and demons, who massacred Sikhs in October and November 1984."
"With the emergence of the True Guru Nanak, the mist cleared and the light scattered all around. Similar to the rising sun, the stars and darkness were dispelled. With the roar of the lion in the forest, the flocks of escaping deer cannot now survive (the escaping deer are evil-doers). Wherever Baba Nanak put his feet, a religious place was erected and established."
