  • ThePrintPod: 'India’s amnesia on women survivors of 1984 Sikh riots isn’t natural. It’s a privilege'
    Nov 21 2024

    In 'The Kaurs of 1984', Sanam Sutirath Wazir uncovers stories of survival that have been carried quietly by India's Sikh community for decades. Wazir noticed a void in the official narratives of 1984 – the voices of women who had survived the carnage. The book is a reminder of how decisively the ground beneath your home can shift, how neighbours can turn into vultures, and how a city built on the love, labour, and enterprise of a post-Partition refugee community can firmly turn against them. In a country where forgetting is prescribed as a cure for trauma, remembering becomes an act of resistance. The Kaurs of 1984 didn’t just lose people and possessions during the second “ujaada” – they continued to lose in the years of silence that followed. Their stories remind us that a country’s amnesia isn’t natural. It’s a privilege reserved for those who never had to learn the art of survival.----more----Read full article here: https://theprint.in/opinion/1984-sikh-riots-india-amnesia-women-survivors/2362273/
