The Communalising of Punjab, 1980-1985
subject: Punjab and its people
description: Any attempt to comprehend the problem of contemporary Punjab should begin by first accepting the reality that a new minority consciousness has emerged. In which case neither the ethnicised history of a community, such as the Sikhs, nor the mere existence of a communal party like the Akali Dal, can explain, singly or jointly, the specificity of this new phenomenon.
