Roll of Honour - Amandeep Sandhu / 9788129120236
1984. Operation Blue Star has just ended and the Indian Army is arresting and killing innocent Sikhs. Appu is back at military school in Jassabad, Punjab, for his final year. He looks forward to three things: being class in-charge, passing out, and securing a place in the National Defence Academy.
Then ex-student Balraj, now a Khalistani militant on the run, takes refuge on campus and the violence outside comes to school. Some of the seniors decide to help Balraj, the decision splits the school along sectarian lines, and students are forced to take sides. There is rampant bullying sodomy being the preferred tool of domination and long-time friends find themselves on opposing sides. As the situation spirals out of control, Appu, who wants nothing more than to live his dreams, is forced to make the impossible choice between community and nation.
Gritty, honest and tautly paced, Roll of Honour is a frank examination of the consequences of misplaced honour, allegiance and integrity.
Review: Roll of Honour is a novel about the internal conflict felt by a group of Sikh Indian army cadets at the time of the government sanctioned destruction of the Golden Temple, their most sacred site. It uniquely combines a brilliantly drawn narrative concerning the conflicting loyalties of a group of young Punjabi cadets (traditionally the backbone of the Indian forces) between their traditional family and religious communities and their ambitions to serve the state with a detached history of the events.
Amandeep Sandhu is a welcome addition to the rapidly growing group of admirable modern Indian authors.
Review: Roll of Honour opens a new world to you. It thrills you but simultaneously saddens as well. The truthfulness of author takes you to your own adolescence and suddenly you realize that you were always almost there the cadets of author have been narrated.
