1984 Genocide

Following the assassination of Prime Minister Indira Gandhi by her two Sikh bodyguards on October 31, 1984, the then ruling party of India, the Indian National Congress also known as “Congress (I)” organized and orchestrated attacks targeting Sikhs, a religious minority, throughout India. The personalized attacks were on the lives, homes, businesses, personal property, and places of worship of Sikhs in India. They were carried out with impunity and in a meticulous and malicious manner resulting in the loss of thousands of lives. More than thirty thousand (30,000) Sikhs were killed in this brief yet tragic time period. Most of the victims were helpless and burnt alive in front of family members and neighbors. Hundreds of Sikh women were raped. Countless Sikh ‘temples’ or places of worship, known as Gurdwaras, were burnt to the ground. Sikh properties, homes, and businesses were looted, ransacked, and destroyed. Over three hundred thousand (300,000) Sikhs were uprooted and displaced during the melee. The gravity, scale and specifically the organized and intentional nature of these attacks were successfully concealed by the Indian government for three decades. The official story by the Indian government portrayed these events as the “November 1984 Anti-Sikh Riots of Delhi”. These attacks were neither “riots” nor were they confined to the Delhi region. In actuality, from November 1-4, 1984, Sikhs were attacked in at least eighteen (18) additional states of India, including over 100 cities throughout the nation. The ruthless attacks occurred in almost an identical manner to those that took place in Delhi. The hordes of marauders fueled by ignorance, hatred and prejudice were relentless in their attacks. The attackers were motivated with a thirst for ‘revenge’, instigated by leaders of the ruling party of India, Congress-I.
