Stolen Years: A Memoir of Simranjit Singh Mann’s Imprisonment

Stolen Years: A Memoir of Simranjit Singh Mann’s Imprisonment By: Pavit Kaur

In 1984, Simranjit Singh Mann resigned from the Indian Police Service in protest of Operation blue star, the Indian Army operation ordered by Indira Gandhi, then prime minister, that cleared the Golden Temple complex of Sikh militants. Mann was subsequently charged, among other things, with conspiracy to assassinate Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. A dedicated Sikh whose radical beliefs were honed by his family, Mann went underground and was apprehended while trying to escape the country. He spent five years in prison, after which all charges were dropped.

Three decades after the blue star, his daughter Pavit Kaur looks back on the years her father spent in prison. During this disarmingly honest and emotionally charged account, Pavit Kaur documents her father's hellish journey through the Indian prison system. This is often also a private story and therefore the story of a family during one among the foremost fraught times in India's history.
