Ten Thousand Pairs of Shoes. 330 $aPunjab was the arena of one of the first major armed conflicts of post-colonial India. During its deadliest decade, as many as 250,000 people were killed. This book makes an urgent intervention in the history of the conflict, which to date has been characterized by a fixation on sensational violence?or ignored altogether. Mallika Kaur unearths the stories of three people who found themselves at the center of Punjab?s human rights movement: Baljit Kaur, who armed herself with a video camera to record essential evidence of the conflict; Justice Ajit Singh Bains, who became a beloved ?people?s judge?; and Inderjit Singh Jaijee, who returned to Punjab to document abuses even as other elites were fleeing. Together, they are credited with saving countless lives. Braiding oral histories, personal snapshots, and primary documents recovered from at-risk archives, Kaur shows that when entire conflicts are marginalized, we miss essential stories: stories of faith, feminist action, and the power of citizen-activists. 606 $aHistory 606 $aOral history 606 $aPeace 606 $aWomen 606 $aPopular Science in History$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Q33030 606 $aOral History$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/711020 606 $aHistory of South Asia$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/715040 606 $aConflict Studies$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/912060 606 $aWomen's Studies$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X35040 607 $aAsia$xHistory 615 0$aHistory. 615 0$aOral history. 615 0$aPeace. 615 0$aWomen. 615 14$aPopular Science in History. 615 24$aOral History. 615 24$aHistory of South Asia. 615 24$aConflict Studies. 615 24$aWomen's Studies. 676 $a954.552 676 $a954.552 700 $aKaur$b Mallika$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01075113 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 912 $a9910484323403321 996 $aFaith, Gender, and Activism in the Punjab Conflict$92583957 997 $aUNINA
