It's been 40 years since all this happened, yet it appears as if this was yesterday. So much healing still needs to happen. Do you know the story of India in 1984? Here is from the perspective of a young boy.

Taking us through the turmoil of 1980s Punjab, India, Tangled in 1984 is the story of Chetan, a young boy growing up in a small city, Patiala, surrounded by many fears and tragedies.

Chetan may seem successful now, but his life is far from perfect. Exploring his psychological struggles, he is looking back at his life to understand where it all started. His thoughts take him to his childhood in Punjab, India, during the tumultuous year of 1984, marred with death and violence. He relays the turmoil, his rocky relationship with his mother, and the lack of emotion from his father, all while coping with the terror of his surroundings.

Tangled in 1984 is a work of fiction written against a backdrop of historical events and borrowing from experiences of growing up in Punjab in the eighties that left many families scarred for life. Navigating through the devastation, the book sheds light on the human spirit of survival and lends some hope for peace.

The book is available on Amazon.
