Bupinder Singh Bali, a native of Kashmir, is from the Sikh community residing in the beautiful Valley. This community is a micro-minority there, often facing existential threats. Those Who Stayed: The Sikhs of Kashmir is a poignant exploration of the Sikhs of Kashmir, their past, present and uncertain future, offering a deeply human perspective on a people often overlooked in mainstream narratives. Bupinder has deftly mixed research, reportage, documented and oral history, survivor testimonies and personal anecdotes to paint a vivid portrait of the Kashmiri Sikh community, exploring themes that are deeply troubling. From the horrors of Partition and the Kabali raids of 1947 to the targeted killings in Chithisinghpora and Mehjoor Nagar, from the three decades of unrest to the abrogation of Article 370, this book offers a rare glimpse into a community’s struggle for social, cultural and economic survival in an ever-evolving political milieu.
