Summary

This shocking exposé of a true-life Orwellian plot of nightmarish proportions reveals the chilling events of November 1984 following Indira Gandhi’s assassination and the cover-up by the Indian government.

For more than three days, armed mobs systematically butchered, torched and raped members of the Sikh community in Delhi and other places, unchecked. The sheer scale of the killings exceeded the combined civilian death tolls of other conflicts such as Tiananmen Square and 9/11. In Delhi alone 3,000 people were killed. Thirty-three years on, the full extent of what took place has yet to be fully acknowledged.

Based on victim testimonies and official accounts, this book exposes how the largest mass crime against humanity in India’s modern history was perpetrated by politicians and covered up with the help of the police, judiciary, and media.

A book that posits fundamental questions, it will shake you to the core.

biased and incomplete

I was expecting something examining the decades before from pre independence to date, but unfortunately the author focuses on the 3 days of communal violence - presenting them out if context and in a biased manner. referencing terrorist organisation propaganda as fact puts this whole text as dubious at best. could have been quite interesting but the sportsman as untrained historian writing a history narrative directed by fringe groups allows us insight to how their narrative is constructed. to be clear all that happened is a tragedy and heartbreaking, but everything in history has a context and this is not presented here
