  45. Thanks for covering this. Very shameful part of our history. I was 6 years old and still remember some of the terror of those days. These are few of the things I remember: 1. Rumors from neighbors in the afternoon that Indira Gandhi was shot, but only 3 bullets and that too in the leg. Ladies in the neighborhood in Delhi crying but no mention of Sikhs 2. My father returning back much later than his usual time with a newspaper in hand saying Indira Gandhi is dead (he saw it on a “running news board atop some building) 3. With DTC buses stopped on route along Ring Road due to massive traffic jams, he had to walk many kilometers and stopped in front of AIMS as were thousands of other people. He said at that time he actually saw Rajiv Gandhi outside of AIMS, along with Jagdish Tytler saying to the gathered crowd “Maaro…Sardaaron Ko Maaron” 4. There were taxi stands that had mostly Sikh drivers near our home in RK Puram and we saw flames and smoke rising in the air from our terrace where the taxi stand was 5. All the men in our neighborhood used to stay up at night armed with rods, sticks, cricket bats, hockey sticks, etc. as there were rumors that’s Sikh mobs were attacking Hindu neighborhoods 6. There was a Sikh family near our home and the community people visiting their home and were told by the adults not to fear and no harm will come to them. 7. Lastly, after those dark days, the most shameful memory is going back to school after a few days/ weeks to see many of our Sikh classmates either still not present (for many days after) and the look of fear and sadness in those who did return Never again must we allow those days to return again in India
