Abstract
ABSTRACT In 1984, Sikhs witnessed mass slaughter and violence in different centers of urban India. Hundreds of male Sikhs were burnt alive; their women were raped and houses were looted and scorched. No appropriate justice has been meted to the victims to date. It stands as the third Ghallughrara (massacre) in the community’s history. The essay argues whether there was any contemporary alternative model to Pogrom where Sikhs were not perceived as enemies to be butchered and enslaved, but Sikhi’s message of caste equality communicated a message of hope and stimulated Dalit mobilization in a region far away from north India in India.
