To mark the 40th year of the violence of 1984, we will remember the events that unfolded in India and make connections with the ongoing and durable violence against Sikhs, Muslims, and other minority groups in India and the diaspora.

We’ll reflect on questions such as:

  • How is 1984 remembered in India and the diaspora?
  • What are some differences within the Sikh community when remembering 1984, and how is this related to non-Sikhs remembering and/or forgetting the events?
  • How did 1984 set a precedent for other kinds of contemporary violence against Sikhs and other minority groups in India and the diaspora?
  • What are some ways in which Sikhs and other minority groups resist and fight back against violent oppression?
