1984: THIRD SIKH HOLOCAUST

The year 2008 marks the 24th anniversary of the Third Sikh Holocaust (Teeja Ghalughara).

In June 1984, the Indian security forces attacked the holiest of Sikh places of worship, the Harmandir Sahib in city of Amritsar, on the day when Sikhs around the world were commemorating the martyrdom of Guru Arjan Dev, the fifth Guru of the Sikhs. Thousands of Sikh men, women and children were killed in this assault along with the simultaneous assault on many other Sikh places of worship throughout the state of Punjab.

In November 1984, following the assasination of Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, thousands of Sikhs were burnt alive, Sikh women gang raped, Sikh places of worship destroyed, Sikh owned business and residence were ransacked and destroyed in the Indian capital city of Delhi and many cities across north India.

The perpetrators of most of these crimes againt humanity have never been brought to justice and many still hold political offices along with offices meant for the protection of justice and basic human rights.
