Not Just Delhi: The Massacres of Sikhs Across India

November 18, 2024 | By Sikh Siyasat Bureau

 

In November 1984, a brutal and targeted massacre of Sikhs occurred across India, widely known as the Sikh Genocide. While the violence was initially misrepresented as “riots” between Hindus and Sikhs, the systematic nature of the attacks, often backed by governmental complicity, clearly indicated a deliberate act of genocide. During this dark period, countless Sikhs were murdered, women were raped, homes and Gurdwaras were destroyed, and businesses looted. The worst of the violence was concentrated in Delhi and Kanpur, but the atrocities extended to other parts of India as well. Gurjant Singh, committed to documenting the full extent of the tragedy, conducted extensive research across the country. His investigation revealed numerous other locations where Sikhs were targeted with organized brutality. During a commemoration event in Hoshiarpur, Gurjant Singh shared his findings, shedding light on the coordinated nature of the violence and the profound loss experienced by the Sikh community during this dark chapter in Indian history.
