Submitted by Anonymous on Wed, 2009-11-04 19:32
Last Saturday marked the 25th anniversary of India's anti-Sikh riots of 1984. Over 3,000 Sikhs were killed and many families were torn apart during four days following the assassination of Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. According to an Ensaaf press release, "survivors are still waiting for justice."
Founded in 2006 by Fellows Sukhman Dhami and Jaskaran Kaur, Ensaaf continuously works to end impunity and achieve justice for mass state crimes in Punjab--a predominately Sikh state. In the October 28th Time Magazine article entitled "India's 1984 Anti-Sikh Riots: Waiting for Justice," Jaskaran explains the injustices faced by survivors of the massacre.
Jaskaran also wrote an op-ed, which appeared in Mercury News. As Ensaaf continues to raise awareness about the struggles of Sikh survivors in India, they are also encouraging local support.
