1984 Genocide: Relentless Pursuit of Justice in Indian Courts
Harinder Singh’s conversation covers a range of themes with Mr. Harvinder Singh Phoolka from Sikh, Panjabi, Indian, and International perspectives.
Acknowledgement & Guilty Secrets of November 1984 | The Genocide
So what makes this historic event a genocide? "It was not riot, it was genocide instead. Hundreds of innocent people were killed. The pain of the kin of riot victims cannot be compensated by even paying crores of rupees."
Commissions & Omissions | The Genocide
Multiple Commissions, Committees and Special Investigation Teams (SIT) were set up to investigate the Genocide.
The Casualties | The Genocide
The attacks had a momentous effect on Sikhs across 18 states and over 100 cities in India. More than 30,000 Sikhs were killed throughout India, many of whom were burnt alive. More than 300,000 Sikhs were rendered homeless throughout India.
Aftermath Part 2 | The Genocide
Two lessons can be drawn from the experience of the Delhi riots: 1. The extent of criminalization of our politics and 2. The unreliability of our police force in a vastly critical situation affecting the livelihood of an entire community.
Myth vs Reality Part 1 | The Genocide
The Sikh Genocide was much more than causation. It had been festering for a while.
Premeditated | The Genocide
Premeditation was at the core of the 1984 Genocide. The attacks that plagued the Sikh community across Delhi were much more than spontaneous expressions of “madness” or “grief and anger” at the assassination of Indira Gandhi.
Organized | The Genocide
There was large discussion about the root of the attacks. It was concluded that they were likely organized by Congressmen or their supported organizations and associations.
Systematic & Focused | The Genocide
How were the Sikhs found? What processes were enacted to pinpoint the targets? Identification was made through a variety of methods.
Widespread | The Genocide
Many might not know that the 1984 attacks were actually repulsed at first. Although the attackers’ initial attacks were fought off at first, they waited to return stronger.
Myth vs Reality Part 2 | The Genocide
The 1984 anti-Sikh violence is one of the most elaborate cover-up exercises by successive central governments over the past two decades.
