The year of 1984 was a very horrific year for Sikhs all over India. Sikhs wee tortured and killed just because they were believed in Sikhism. In 1984 the prime minister of India, Indra Gandhi, attacked the Golden Temple with gernades, bombs, tanks, and guns. Innocent sikhs were going to the Harmundar Sahib to worship Waheguru (Sikh way of saying "god") and they were very surprised when the Indian army arrived and attacked. This attack took place from June 1-6, 1984 in Amritsar, Punjab. This was a very important week to Sikhs. It was the week Guru Arjan Dev Ji (the fifth guru) was burned alive 306 years before this attack. Normal, everyday Sikhs were killed because of this attack. Indra Gandhi attacked the Sikhs because she didn't want this religon to exsist in India. She wanted all of India to believe in her religon. She thought the best solution for her problem was to attack the Golden Temple when many Sikhs were their. Sant Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale was the leader of the Sikhs and he was a very imprortant and brave person during this attack. He led the Sikhs to attack back and fight during the attack. He was one of the many Sikhs killed during the attack of 1984. There were thousands of dead bodies left as a result of this attack. Later that year, in October, Indra Ghandi had been killed. Her own Sikh bodygaurds had killed her. After the death of Indra Gandhi, Hindus got together and attacked Sikhs once again in the major cities of India, They burn the Sikhs in tires, rape women and girls, throw Sikhs in trucks that were already lit on fire, etc. It is very improtant for Sikhs all around the world to never forget the attack of 1984. It was very devastating for families of Sikh victims and just Sikhs in general.
