This year marks the 30th anniversary of the Indian army attack on the institutional centre of the Sikh faith and community, Darbar Sahib (sometimes known as the Golden Temple), the assassination of the then Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi by her Sikh bodyguards and the India-wide anti-Sikh pogroms. At a time when the intersection of religion and violence continues to occupy the public imagination, this evening of literary arts seeks to explore the largely unresolved episodes of 1984.<\/p>\n
