Women in 1984
WSN Network
An open
invitation is being extended by the Sikh Students Association of UC
Berkeley and Jakara Movement for a seminar on ‘Women in 1984’ on
Saturday, November 21st from 12—4 PM on the Berkeley campus led by
Dr. Cynthia K. Mahmood, Navkiran Kaur Khalra, and Jasmine Kaur
Marwaha.
The narratives
of these three women are linked to the struggle of the post
1984-period.
Dr. Cynthia
Mahmood’s work deals directly with the issue of militancy and she
will discuss the violence in Punjab from the macro lens of India as
a democracy.
Navkiran Kaur
Khalra will speak of her own experiences as the daughter of S.
Jaswant Singh Khalra and the heritage of his vision. The Khalra
family’s narratives is inherently linked to the states' backlash
against movements desiring human rights and autonomy.
Jasmine Kaur
Marwaha, human rights lawyer for Ensaaf, will be discussing the
right to reparations for victims of the November 1984 pogroms, as
well as victims of the Punjab counterinsurgency, from a gendered
perspective. For more info, Amritpan Kaur | (909) 257-7454 |
