In many homes, shops and public spaces I visited, Bhindranwale occupies a place of pride and reverence. In many homes from where a son has migrated abroad, I see drawing rooms with three pictures on the wall: Bhagat Singh, Bhindranwale and the migrant son. A Panjab sinking into depression through the shenanigans of Centre and state politicians and its own religious bodies feels these are the three heroes who could have, and now can, save it from economic distress.
