About this listen

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.

too vivid

I was old enough in 1984 to understand the horror of Operation Bluestar.
still, this book has been a horrific account of what the public was not made aware of... genocide of the Sikhs, brazenly carried out by the ruling government of the time.
well done Pav Singh. the narrator did full justice in presenting the urgency and hopelessness of events .
can't stop thinking about this.

Spine chilling narration

Had read few event, but described in the book quite in detail. Can’t imagine what the victims might be going through. Followed by no immediate justice; is the worst.
