Listening to the voices of people who experience political violence--either as victims or as perpetrators--gives new insights into both the sources of violent conflict and the potential for its resolution.

Drawing on her extensive interviews and conversations with Sikh militants, Cynthia Keppley Mahmood...

Fighting for Faith and Nation

By far one of the best books I have ever read. This book is not for just Khalistanis, but for everyone who wants to know the truth.

The style of presenting the material reminds us of Shakespearean plays where, after the characters play out their parts there are...
