1746 Chhota Ghallughara (Sikh)
May 17, 2020
The Chhota Ghallughara was the first massacre of Sikhs targeted to wipe out the entire population. Around 7,000 Sikhs were killed, 3,000 were captured and later beheaded, and the persecution lasted several decades. Gurdwaras were destroyed and scriptures were burnt. Anyone caught saying the word “Guru” was sentenced to death.
Students and/Co-Workers may visit their local Gurdwara at some point during the day
