Dear Friends,
last week a review of Panjab: Journeys Through Fault Lines by Yadwinder Singh appeared in the Punjabi Tribune (29.12.2019). I loved Yadwinder’s language and his content. It isn’t very often that one reads very fine Panjabi outside of books, in columns, in reviews.
What I also loved was how Yadwinder guides the readers to read the book by providing clues from within the book. That, to me, is an important aspect of reviews. Finally what I loved is, how Yadwinder highlights the photograph by Satpal Danish on the endsheets of the book and compares it with the legendary Ship of Theseus. I found it a brilliant allegory that lifts the review to a philosophical question applied to Panjab.
I felt, here is a review that truly adds to the book. I spoke to Kanwar Manjit Singh and very kindly he showcases the Panjabi review in English translation on Punjab Today.
Thank you! Please read here …

Dear Friends,
the next day, Sunday, October 21, 2019, Panjab Today also published the full extract of my book Panjab: Journeys Through Fault Lines. This version carried hitherto less seen but very evocative pictures from the first day the Darbar Sahib was opened to public after Operation Blue Star, 1984. All pictures by Satpal Danish.
