Punjab witnessed unprecedented violence for about one and half decades from the late-1970s to the early-1990s. This violence took the lives of thousands of people, and created large-scale human suffering. Fallouts of the Green Revolution, the nature of intervention of the central government to address Punjab’s problem, and increased communalization of politics led to an eruption of militant violence. There has been Punjabi Suba movement later for more autonomy to states documented in the Anandpur resolution but these were crushed by the central government. 
Punjab lost thousands of youth to the ruthless actions of the Government. From this lot of literature was written on the sad happenings. There was lot of poetic expression came on the prevailing situation but with a whimper.
Visions of Punjab and Kalcine Film Enterprises present a poem read in a poetry session ( Kavi Darbar) by Gurbhajan Singh Gill held during Professor Mohan Singh Mela of 1992 about the general anguish of those past times.
