Memories of the 1984 Riots

Sidhusaaheb has posted his father’s writings on the 1984 Anti-Sikh riots.

We were in office on 31st October when the news of Indira Gandhi’s assassination came in. There were no ill-feelings among the staff members except one or two personal clashes.

However, when we went to office on 1st November, the atmosphere had totally changed. People were huddled in groups and discussing something that they wanted to keep from me, but since we had been working together for nearly 20 years, they hesitatingly informed me that there was a list of Sikh properties and establishments, which were to be attacked and burned down on that day.
