The 1984 Anti-Sikh Riots were a series of violent events that occurred in India following the assassination of Prime Minister Indira Gandhi on October 31, 1984. The assassination was carried out by her Sikh bodyguards in response to her decision to launch Operation Blue Star, which aimed to remove Sikh militants from the Golden Temple in Amritsar. In the aftermath, widespread violence erupted against the Sikh community, particularly in Delhi. During the riots, thousands of Sikhs were killed, and many more were injured or displaced. Properties, businesses, and gurdwaras (Sikh temples) were destroyed, leading to significant social and economic repercussions for the Sikh community. The events have left a lasting impact on Indian society and continue to be a sensitive topic in discussions about communal violence and justice.
