A Candle in the Dark – An Exhibition of Sikh History
The National Sikh Youth Federation will on 30 October launch in the UK Parliament an exhibition of Sikh history.
This exhibition will showcase how, in the context of Sikh history, Guru Nanak’s mission to build a truly utopian society encountered violent opposition. We will take you on a journey through the challenges we have faced from the beginnings of the Sikh Way, right up to the shocking events of our recent history, the Delhi Genocide of November 1984.
This exhibition is being launched to commemorate the atrocities of the Delhi genocide in November 1984. An estimated 30,000 Sikhs were killed in an orchestrated and premeditated attack aiming to vanquish enduring proponents of Guru Nanak’s ideology; who did not succumb to the atrocities of the attack on Amritsar (Operation Blue Star) and the purge of Sikh youth in Operation Woodrose.
This will be a national exhibition, which will tour the United Kingdom for 6-8 weeks with venues currently booked in:
London 31st Oct – 4th Nov
Midlands 8th Nov – 11th Nov
Leeds 15th Nov – 18th Nov
Glasgow 22nd Nov – 25th Nov
Cardiff 29th Nov – 2nd Dec
