Vaheguru ji ka Khalsa Vaheguru ji ki Fatheh The vigil is a remembrance for the thousands of Sikhs killed across India in 1984, following the assassination of Indira Gandhi, the then Prime Minister. Whilst this was a tragedy, what followed were days of barbaric murder, rape and looting across India, which left thousands dead and over 50,000 homeless. The victims of these anti-Sikh pogroms still await justice. We hope you will join us to remember the thousands of innocent victims of the anti-Sikh pogroms of November 1984 A humble Benti to everyone is to come down and show your support to remember all those brave Sikh Souls who laid down there lives in both World Wars and all those who were killed during 1984.
