The Kaurs of 1984 by Sanam Sutirath Wazir documents the overlooked experiences of Sikh women during and after the events of 1984, including Operation Blue Star and the anti-Sikh violence that followed. Drawing on oral histories and field research, the book centers the voices of women who survived loss, displacement, and long-term social and psychological trauma. It highlights how these women were not only witnesses but also active bearers of memory, resilience, and resistance. The narratives expose gaps in official histories that have largely erased women’s suffering and agency. Overall, the book serves as both a historical record and a powerful call for recognition, justice, and remembrance.
