Outside Somewhere, A Lamp Burns

By Shivcharan Jaggi Kussa

As the saying goes, people living in Punjab undergo daily challenges each day. A mix of happiness and sorrows is what a life takes with it. This novel talks about scenario before the Indo-Pak separation and then the painful relocation of people across the border. People and life started settling down and then when things started getting a little better, Punjab got hit by the Nirankari kaand in Amritsar in the year 1978, which again disrupted peace in Punjab. It took a long time for Punjab to restore normalcy. Little did Punjab get respite that 1984 witnessed operation Blue Star which hurt the very soul of Punjab and Punjabis across the world. The rage and turmoil destroyed Punjab and killed many innocents. Humanity cried, old eyes got tired and despaired; many people migrated to Delhi in a hope of a new life and as an escape to finally become victim of riots following the assassination of the then Prime Minister. The pain and sufferings by the people of Punjab right from the days of partition till their pursuit of settlement has been expressed by the writer in this novel.
