The 1984 Sikh Massacre
From October 31 to November 4, 1984, thousands of Sikhs were hunted and murdered by government-orchestrated mobs throughout India in a campaign of genocidal violence following the assassination of Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. While the majority of the mass killings were concentrated in Delhi, violence also erupted in other Indian cities such as Kanpur, Bokaro, and several parts of Haryana and Bihar.
In Ajeet Cour words, "November 1st, the bloodshed began. It was a narsaṃhār—a massacre. But this was no ordinary massacre. I had never seen anything like it. The ones doing the killing weren’t just committing acts of violence; they were laughing, singing, and dancing as they watched the bodies writhe in agony, like fish struggling out of water. It was the first time in my life I had witnessed such an inhumane spectacle."
Unfortunately, the Indian government continues to deny appropriate justice to the victims and survivors of the massacres.
In this audiobook, Ajeet Cour talks about her experiences as a Sikh woman in Delhi during the killings in 1984.
