1) What happened in 1984?
In 1984 there was a Sikh genocide in India. The attack was by the Indian government to kill a large number of Sikhs. The attack was being planned for 2 years before the actual attack and was planned to happen on one of the most busiest days for the golden temple and every other Sikh temple around India. This attack killed thousands and thousands of innocent Sikhs.
2) Who is to blame for the genocide?
The indian government was the behind the attack. They said it was not planned but there is proof that they had been planning the attack for 2 year and had made a replica of the Golden Temple and had practised the attack there. The reason that the Indian government had given for the attack was to flush out 38 terrorists/militants but later admit that most of the people on that list were not even in the country and were living abroad.
3) What was the aim of this attack?
The reason that the Indian government had given for the attack was to flush out 38 terrorists/militants but later admit that most of the people on that list were not even in the country and were living abroad. The aim of the attack was to kill as many sikhs as possible.
4) How long did it go on for?
This attack had gone on for atleast 4 to 5 days and nights. The Golden Temple and over 40 other Sikh Temples had been barricaded by the Indian army so that no Sikhs were able to get out and that too alive.
5) How has it effected people now?
This genocide effected sikhs all around the wold but mainly in India and is a big part of sikh history. The effect that this event had on people was incredibly big as the was thousands left homeless and and no one left in there family and even little children were left on there own.
