Anti-Sikh Riots Following Indira Gandhi's Assassination
(Original Caption) Indira Gandhi was the Prime Minister of India who was assassinated by her Sikh bodyguards on October 31, 1984. The news of Gandhi's death plunged New Delhi and other parts of India into anti-Sikh riots for three days; several thousand Sikhs were killed in the aftermath. Here, police officers beat the crowd of rioters with nightsticks in an attempt to curtail the escalating violence. (Photo by Jacques Langevin/Sygma/Sygma via Getty Images)
