Sikhs around the world commemorate the black day in Indian history. (June 05, 2008)

Twenty four years ago in 1984, India’s armed forces launched an unprecedented assault on the Durbar Sahib, the most revered place of worship for Sikhs commonly known as the Golden Temple. The attack on the Durbar Sahib coincided with the attack on 39 other Gurdwaras (Sikh places of worship) throughout Punjab. Precisely "At Seven o’clock on the evening of 5th June, tanks of the 16th Cavalry Regiment of the Indian army started moving up to the Golden Temple complex” writes authors Mark Tully and Satish Jacob in their book titled "Amritsar - Mrs. Gandhi's Last Battle". The World Sikh Organizaton (WSO) commemorated this day at the Canadian Parliament on June 5th, 2008. Read the Justice, Dignity and Non-Violence versus Denumanized Politics Hon.David Kilgour J.D.
