Sikhs in city centre massacres tribute

Nov 2 2006

MEMBERS of the Sikh community gathered in Birmingham to

remember those killed during the Indian massacres of 1984.

Hundreds of people gathered in Chamberlain Square for a

candlelit vigil in memory of the anti-Sikh uprisings in India

22 years ago.

Organised by the Sikh Federation and the Young Sikhs, the

service included members of the faith from Birmingham,

Wolverhampton, Walsall and Coventry.

As well as being an act of remembrance, Sikhs asked for

justice by creating awareness of the atrocities in India

hidden from the wider world.
