June marks one of the most significant and painful chapters in modern Sikh history.
From June 1–10, 1984, a series of events unfolded in and around Sri Harmandir Sahib that forever impacted the Sikh Panth and left a lasting mark on Sikh collective memory around the world. This timeline highlights key events based on historical accounts and eyewitness testimonies, serving as an educational resource for those seeking to better understand this period in history.
As we reflect on these events, we remember the lives lost, the families affected, the destruction of invaluable historical and religious literature, and the resilience of the Sikh community in the face of adversity.
May we continue to educate ourselves, preserve our history, and ensure that future generations understand the significance of these events and their lasting impact on the Sikh Panth.
