Book Synopsis



Beyond Punjab: 1937-1960 by Prakash Tandon is a compelling narrative that traces the profound transformation of Punjab and its people through some of the most turbulent and defining years in Indian history. Spanning from the British colonization to the dislocation and migration that accompanied India's partition, Tandon's account is both personal and collective, weaving his family's experiences with the broader historical forces shaping the region.

From his great-granduncle's reluctant adaptation to British rule to his own journey of self-discovery in England, Tandon's memoir captures the essence of a changing society. He reflects on the rise of Punjabis in various professions, the global dispersion of its people, and the impact of World War II and Partition on their lives. Through this vivid tapestry, Tandon not only recounts his family's evolution but also the spirit of resilience and adaptation that defines the Punjabi ethos.

For readers interested in Indian history, migration, or colonial legacies, Beyond Punjab offers an insightful and human perspective on how one region navigated its complex past to shape its future.
