I was 15 years old. A Sikh girl, who loved India like my ancestors, that gave their lives for that country for generations defending it against its enemies for centuries….until those dark days of 1984 when the whole of India turned against us Sikhs – Indira Gandhi’s son Rajiv was declared the Prime Minister soon after her death. He and his cabinet ordered Sikhs to be ‘punished’. The mobs aided by the police came to rape and torture the females in our families and kill the males. We were lucky that we escaped after a brave fight. But…My three cousins were burnt alive in front of their Mother and wives who were raped and tortured. Our home and automobiles burnt and we became strangers and hated in our own country. Nobody came to help. I moved to the USA as soon as I could and can never forgive and forget India and her citizens for doing this to us. Read my story at http://www.sikhchic.com/article-detail.php?id=712&cat=12
