Sheena Kohli

Here, Sheena Kohli speaks candidly about the rift felt between Sikhs in Panjab and elsewhere in the early 80s. Listen to her recounting of the events of November 1984 and how a teenage girl felt painful indifference and “you deserved it” from her lifelong friends, and has felt alienation from her old stomping grounds ever since.

She also shares how surviving trauma may be through a family policy of: “put it away, shove it away, and never talk about it.”
