The book looks into the mindless violence unleashed by the militants and equally mindless state terrorism - both contributed to the increasing alienation of the Sikhs from the national mainstream during that period. It also looks at the factors that led to a qualitative difference in militancy in the post-Operation Blue Star phase. It analyses why the people of Punjab were not separatists as they were made out to be by the Congress leadership. The author sees the proliferation of drugs in the state as a direct fallout of the momentous events of 1984. She does not make any value judgements but sees the revival of militancy still a possibility and gives reasons and conditions which could lead to the revival of militancy in the near future.
