Born and raised in India, Jayashree immigrated to Canada more than five decades ago and holds master's and Ph.D. degrees in biochemistry and Indian classical music. An award-winning author of several books written in two languages – English and Marathi – her books cover varied subjects, those being medical science, Indian classical music, real-life experiences of Canadian immigrants and historical fact-based novels. Serving as a member of the board of trustees with many Canadian non-profit organisations, Jayashree is a visiting professor of music at many Canadian and American universities. This book is based on two major historical events of two secular, democratic and powerful nations of the world, Canada and India, which are strikingly similar in nature: the October Crisis of Canada and the Operation Blue Star of India. Both the events, supposedly freedom movements, done by the French in Quebec (Canada) and Sikhs in Punjab (India) for gaining sovereignty are documented as the most catastrophic events, sadly stamping ugly, dark blemishes in the historical pages of the respective countries. This book details information about those two crises with a comparative aspect.
