    Sikh Nasalkushi Da Khura Khoj: Authored by Gurjant Singh Ball and Sukhjeet Singh Sadarkot 
    Sikh Genocide da Khura Khoj is a powerful and eye-opening book that uncovers the lesser-known truth about the 1984 anti-Sikh violence. While most people are aware of what happened in Delhi, Kanpur, Bokaro, and Hondh Chillar, this book reveals that the attacks on Sikhs were not limited to just these places. Written by Gurjant Singh Ball, this important book investigates how Sikhs were also targeted in other parts of India with the same cruelty and planning. It focuses on six states — Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Odisha, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, and Tamil Nadu — and shares shocking stories backed by eyewitnesses and real evidence. Sikh Genocide da Khura Khoj is one of the first books to explore these forgotten chapters. It gives a voice to the victims and brings hidden facts to light. A must-read for anyone seeking to understand the full scale of the Sikh genocide beyond what is commonly known. You can order it from Sikh Siyasat and get it delivered anywhere in the world.

    This book is a summary of The oqual Cycle without an in-depth analysis.  
    Briefly, almost every nation today is teetering on the brink of a societal meltdown as it finds itself in the midst of a sociopolitical upheaval, the like of which has not hitherto been witnessed in our lifetime. 
    Yet, hardly anyone realizes that like a winter that returns every year, such a concerted turmoil across the globe is also periodic due to what I have dubbed the "oqual cycle". 
    On the basis of scientific reasoning and mathematical modeling of history over the past 600 years, the oqual cycle posits that human civilization seemingly undergoes a sweeping global reset once every 84 years on average in order to purge itself of a plethora of wrongdoings from the societal ills through excesses and imbalances to transgressions amassed over that multidecadal period. 
    Unfortunately, there is no free music as one must pay the piper. 
    Indeed, such a societal reboot (or revitalization) is typically accomplished through a global conflict with the potential to not only wreak havoc but also strike fear into the hearts and minds of people on an apocalyptic scale so that they can put their sociopolitical differences aside and come together for the common good of the world at large. 
    The oqual cycle therefore lends human society a subtle albeit deadly mechanism to break ties with its dysfunctional past in order to begin anew rather than being held hostage from moving forward under its own weight, or even worse, continue down the rabbit hole in perpetuity with the potential for self-destruction. 
    Taken together, Summary of The Oqual Cycle is a must-read for everyone in that it will not only dramatically transform your perspective on how you view the world but it will also become your best companion to guide you as you navigate the dire fallout from the ongoing sociopolitical upheaval around much of the globe over the next decade or so.
