October 31, 1984
"The first incidents anywhere in the country started in Calcutta. Huge crowds gathered in the streets on getting the news of Mrs. Gandhi's assassination… In Orissa, Congress-I workers attacked Sikhs in Bhubaneswar and set a private truck on fire." - Amiya Rao, Aurobindo Ghose, N. D. Pancholi, Report To The Nation: Truth About Delhi Violence

In November 1984, following the assassination of Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, a horrific wave of violence erupted against the Sikh community in India, especially in Delhi. Thousands of Sikhs were brutally attacked, killed, and driven from their homes in a series of coordinated assaults.
To this day, the events of November 1984 ignite powerful debates: Was this a genocide, as defined by the 1948 United Nations Convention? The Convention’s criteria—acts committed with the intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial, or religious group—compel many to call these attacks an orchestrated genocide against Sikhs. Yet, Indian authorities have largely classified it as communal violence or a pogrom.

Gurdwara Gyan Godri Sahib at Har ki Pauri, Haridwar, marks where Guru Nanak Dev Ji taught during his first Udasi. Demolished in 1979, it remains unreturned. Sikh bodies call it a forceful occupation. The land, or a dignified site, be restored.@bbcnewspunjabi @BBCHindi
