The Anti Sikh Riots took place in India after the assassination of Indira Gandhi on October 31, 1984 . India's Prime Minister Indira Gandhi was assassinated by her own gurads who were Sikhs. Over the next four days thousands of Sikhs were massacared by the Congress activists. The congress did not do anything to stop the riots and the then Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi said "WHEN BIG TREE FALL,EARTH WILL BE SHAKE" on the Sikh carnage.Numerous commissions have been setup to investigate the riots but to no avail. The culprits are still at large. One of the accused Jagdish Tytler is currently a minister under the congres government. The 20th anniversary of the Sikh riots was observed in November 2004.
