About the author

Jagtar Singh

Coming from a family of agriculturalists of Ambala, Jagtar Singh, when he joined The Indian Express, Chandigarh in 1978, was amongst the very few English language journalists of Punjab with a wide knowledge and background of rural Punjab and Haryana. Possessing a great capacity for diligent field work, he was aided by his understanding of the religio-political ethos of the region and in his writings, was soon imparting meaning to the fast paced developments, then sweeeping Punjab. His foray into this, till then, urban bastian was preceeded by an indepth study of political economy, interspersed with personal experiences of mass struggle and repression by the state machinery in the late 1960's and early 1970's in Punjab.

In his journalistic career he utilised the opportunities afforded by the old school of journalism to bring home to the readers the major current and cross-currents which enveloped Punjab in the 1980's and 1990's. Arguably Jagtar Singh is one of the foremost authorities on Punjab, its politics and society, and particularly the politics of the Shiromani Akali Dal and Shiromani Gurudwara Prabandhak Committee (SGPC), which seem to be beyond the comprehension of the whistle-stop journalists of the new era. Jagtar Singh has always been known for a meticulous record keeping, combined with a dispassionate, balanced and unsparing approach to events and players and these qualities are amply on display in this work as well.
