1947 bruised psyche of our parents and grandparents. 1984 bruised us. Even though most punjabis like me were not involved in any political or militant wave, yet everyone in punjab suffered from atrocities of government, one way or the other.
After 1984 the Punjab was not the same Punjab. I still love Punjab and India but from 1984 onwards it gave a feeling of something missing in me. My own village was not same village to me. I was scared to go there. Either so-called militants or police/CRPF/Army or black-cats may arrest me and torture me for nothing.
My generation suffered from 1984 and its aftermaths.
