Last November when we launched PANJAB: Journeys Through Fault Lines at MAJHA HOUSE, Amritsar, Bibi Kiranjot Kaur and I were talking about the possibility of translation of the book into other languages. Bibi ji emphasised that the book must be translated into Hindi. She said, ‘A book’s job is to educate. I hope this book educates the Hindi press and intellectuals. They learn about us firsthand and learn to report without a pro-Centre bias.’

While the translation of the book is not yet available, still in talks, I am very happy to share with you the first Hindi review of the book by Chandan Pandey.

on November 24th we had a packed to capacity Majha House at Amritsar. The Tribune and local Panjabi and Hindi media covered the book launch and discussion.

Thank you Aman Deep, Bibi Kiranjot Kaur, Chiranjiv Singh and Preeti Gill for making the event possible.

Thank you everyone for attending, for discussing, for blessing and endorsing ‘Panjab: Journeys Through Fault Lines’.

Shukrana!
