History

Historical Context

Indira Gandhi's assassination on October 31, 1984, by her Sikh bodyguards was a direct response to her controversial Operation Blue Star, which aimed to quell Sikh militancy at the Golden Temple. This act ignited widespread anti-Sikh riots, resulting in estimates of 3,000 to 17,000 deaths. The ongoing repercussions of this violence continue to influence Sikh relations and political discourse in both India and Canada today.
