ИСТИНА

This paper is an attempt to conceptualize the counter-scriptures phenomena in India's Punjab using Michel Foucault’s idea of heterochrony that defines time-accumulating entities or places. Trying to simultaneously combine the eternal and the temporal as well as amalgamating different epochs (or ‘slices in time’, to cite Foucault), such scriptures contribute to the construction of new socio-religious boundaries and identities in contemporary Punjab.
