Preferred term
Sikh terrorism
Definition
- Terrorist acts by militant Sikhs, members of a religion that began in northern India in the 1500s, reached a peak in the 1980s with the assassination of Prime Minister Indira Gandhi of India and the bombing of Air India Flight 182. Militants have attacked the Indian government because Sikhs want an independent homeland. [Source: The SAGE Encyclopedia of Terrorism; Sikh Terrorism]
