India
💡 Following the assassination of Indira Gandhi by her own Sikh bodyguards, organised pogroms against Sikhs broke out across India, and by 3 November 1984 the violence in Delhi alone had killed about 2,800 people according to government estimates. The killings followed Operation Blue Star, a military action that June to secure the Golden Temple in Amritsar, Punjab, one of the holiest sites in Sikhism. Sikhs around the world condemned the army's earlier action as an assault on their religion and identity.
