Books on Punjab's History

I am trying to get into reading and I want you guys to recommend me books about punjab's Modern History. Books with negligible bias and purely based on facts, as I am really interested to know my state's history. Not just the surface level knowledge about Punjab but actualities and harsh realities of it. The atrocities suffered by it till the present.

I hope you guys will help me out, thanks in advance 🙏

(Modern History only)

My cousin harassed his girlfriend in front of me...

Boy, this was so traumatic, this is the first time I have seen someone beat someone(especially a girl)

So today, my distant cousin (19M)whom I don't like, visited us (with family).

He said he wanted to show me the music system in his car and we went for a drive.

His girlfriend(most probably gf) lives in my town. So he called her and started yelling at her like crazy. Maa behen ki gandi galiyan Dene laga. Even cursed her father. Worst of all he asked her why tf did you shave off you nipple hair?

Then he picked her up and drove us somewhere quiet. And then he started beating her like craaazy(she started crying)

I was sitting at the front passenger seat. They were at the back then she grabbed my shirt and asked me to stop him. And then I "pretended" to step in. YES NOW YOU GUYS WILL JUDGE ME AND YOU SHOULD, BECAUSE I AM SO SO GUILTY FOR LETTING IT HAPPEN.

Anyway, Every now and then I told him to stop hitting her and drop her somewhere or at her home already. But that MF istg just kept delaying that shit. First my dad called him and then his own dad called him that where were we. But he doesn't care.

But here is the part which Ig is the most important, she didn't wanted to leave if he is a SADIST but she was a MASOCHIST. She didn't ever try to leave when he was away from the car. But I am not judging her but it almost felt like she was the female lead of a 90s hindi movies where a girl falls in love with her own rapist( weird comparison ik)

I felt pity for that girl but you can't really blame me as well, because I was shook as well, and I just froze and was fighting a moral battle in my head. Because If I had been involved my family would have come to know about this.

BUT still I feel I should have stopped him right away, but I AM A fking coward.
