India's Prime Minister Indira Gandhi was assassinated by her own guards 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. The then Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi (son of Indira Gandhi) said "When a big tree falls, the earth is bound to shake" on the Sikh carnage. In about three days about 4000 sikhs were massacared. The most affected regions were neighborhoods in Delhi. Numerous commissions have been setup to investigate the riots but to no avail. The culprits are still at large. According to a The Times of India report nine commissions and committes have inquired into the riots. Justice Rangnath Mishra headed the first commission on the riots. This commission was a total mockery of justice as the statements of the accused were made available to the culprits. The most recent commision on the riots ,headed by Justice G.T. Nanavati is expected to submit its report in February 2005.One of the accused Jagdish Tytler is currently a minister under the congress government. The 20th anniversary of the Sikh riots was observed in November 2004.
