The 39th anniversary of the 1984 Sikh Massacre

Filmed on June 10, 2023 The 1984 Anti-Sikh Riots, also known as the 1984 Sikh Massacre, was a series of organised pogroms[13][14][5] against Sikhs in India following the assassination of Indira Gandhi by her Sikh bodyguards.[15][16][17] Government estimates project that about 2,800 Sikhs were killed in Delhi[5][6] and 3,350 nationwide,[10][11] whilst independent sources estimate the number of deaths at about 8,000–17,000.[4][12][18][19] The assassination of Indira Gandhi itself had taken place shortly after she had ordered Operation Blue Star, a military action to secure the Harmandir Sahib Sikh temple complex in Amritsar, Punjab, in June 1984. The operation had resulted in a deadly battle with armed Sikh groups who were demanding greater rights and autonomy for Punjab and the deaths of many pilgrims. Sikhs worldwide had criticized the army action and many saw it as an assault on their religion and identity.[20]
