📖 Description
When a Tree Shook Delhi: The 1984 Carnage and Its Aftermath is one of the most detailed and extensively researched books examining the anti-Sikh violence that followed the assassination of Prime Minister Indira Gandhi in October 1984.
Written by investigative journalist Manoj Mitta and senior advocate H.S. Phoolka, the book combines meticulous research, official inquiry records, witness testimonies and legal documentation to explore the causes, events and long aftermath of one of modern India's darkest chapters.
Rather than presenting only a chronological history, the authors investigate how the violence unfolded, the institutional response, the subsequent judicial inquiries and the long legal struggle undertaken by survivors seeking justice.
Drawing upon material that emerged through commissions of inquiry, court proceedings and official records, the book provides readers with an evidence-based examination of the events, making it an important reference for researchers, students, historians and anyone interested in contemporary Indian political and social history.
The volume includes photographs, documentary evidence, detailed references and analysis covering the events before, during and after the violence, helping readers understand both the immediate tragedy and its lasting consequences.
Praised by respected historians, journalists and public intellectuals, this work has become one of the most widely cited English-language studies on the subject.
