Sikh Genocide

The Sikh Genocide, notably in 1984, was a tragic period when thousands of Sikhs were violently attacked and murdered in India, especially in Delhi and Punjab. The violence was sparked by tensions following India’s military operation at the Golden Temple, the holiest Sikh shrine, which heightened fears and anger. The attacks targeted Sikhs based on religious identity, leading to widespread loss of life, destruction of property, and deep communal trauma. This event remains a sensitive and significant chapter in Indian history, highlighting issues of religious intolerance and the importance of safeguarding minority rights.
