LIVEBLOGGING – 10th Jakara Conference – Recollections of Eye-Witnesses

1984 is not some distant past.  It is within the lifetime of many Sikhs.  It is one of those ‘critical’ events that has shaped the history of the Qaum.  No book can be written on the Sikhs without this important chapter.  While many young activists were born after 1984, it is important that they connect with those older that can share their experiences.

At the Jakara Movement Conference 2009, Sikh activists, whose experiences during and after 1984, shaped their desire to engage with their community recollect and recall their stories to the Jakara Movement audience.  Leading activists in groups such as Sikh Research Institute, Sikh Coalition, and SALDEF all participated at the Jakara Movement conference.

Bridging voices of the past, with the leaders of tomorrow.

we are the movement.
