Anti-Sikh Riots

The Anti-Sikh Riots of 1984 were violent attacks against Sikh communities in India, primarily in Delhi, following the assassination of Prime Minister Indira Gandhi by her Sikh bodyguards. Over several days, mobs targeted Sikhs, leading to thousands of deaths, destruction of homes, businesses, and religious sites. The violence was fueled by political tensions and grievances, and many victims faced brutal atrocities. The riots exposed deep-rooted communal divides and highlighted issues of justice and accountability. Although some efforts have been made to address these past atrocities, many victims and their families continue to seek recognition and justice.
