A Sikh Captain America? Why Religious Diversity Matters in the Comics Universe
- On June 4, 1984, aligning with the martyrdom anniversary of Guru Arjan Dev Ji, Indian military forces conducted Operation Blue Star, attacking the Golden Temple, the most sacred site in Sikhism.
- The operation responded to a movement led by Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale demanding justice, autonomy, and rights for Sikhs amid decades of discrimination.
- The military attack used tanks, artillery, and mortar fire, killed thousands including women and children, and severely damaged the Harmandir Sahib complex and the Akal Takht.
- After Prime Minister Indira Gandhi was killed by her Sikh personal guards in October 1984, violent, government-supported riots targeted Sikhs in Delhi, resulting in the deaths of over 3,000 individuals within a three-day period, accompanied by widespread sexual violence, arson, and killings.
- These events triggered a global Sikh diaspora fleeing state violence and fueled ongoing demands for justice through peaceful Khalistan referendums worldwide.
