Amar Singh Chamkila shot to fame in the ‘80s with his songs that spoke of extramarital relationships, coming-of-age, drinking, drug use, and the patriarchal mindset of Punjabi men. Though controversial, he earned fame overnight. Chamkila and his wife Amarjot were killed in an assassination in Punjab’s Mehsampur in 1988.
