recent farmers protest<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>A CANDLELIT vigil was organised by the group Sikhs of Wales and held on the steps of The Senedd to remember the victims of the 1984 massacre of Sikhs in Amritsar,  India.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The event last night was the first Sikh vigil ever to be held in Wales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A collection of speakers addressed the crowd about the 1984 massacre and the human cost of this year\u2019s agricultural protests in India.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis is particularly important for the younger generation who won\u2019t remember what happened in 1984,\u201d said Amarjit Singh, a Cardiff resident and one of the administrators of Sikhs for Wales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The assassination of Indira Gandhi by her Sikh bodyguards was an act of retaliation after she had ordered the Indian Army to attack the Harmandir Sahib (Golden Temple) gurdwara in Amritsar, Punjab.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The attack on the spiritual home of Sikhism was against armed Sikh groups seeking greater autonomy for the majority Sikh Punjab region of India.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Indian government estimates place the death toll at around 3,350 nationwide, but independent sources place it far higher at between 8,000 and 17,000 deaths.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"
