The storming of the Golden Temple in Amritsar in 1984 was followed by almost a decade of violence in Punjab in which many thousands of people were killed or disappeared. Lovejit Dhaliwal examines the legacy of the conflict and the continuing search for information about those who went missing.
From the Ashes of Amritsar 8.00pm R4
India might be the world's largest democracy but in the Punjab there are hundreds of families still waiting to learn the fate of their sons, brothers and fathers after a bloody police mission to stamp out Sikh militancy in the 1980s and 90s. The stories told here are brutal and shocking-hideous methods of torture, missing men's bodies disposed of in mass cremations, a father finding his son's body under a pile of burning logs - but, as with the Holocaust, better we face up to, rather than ignore, the truth.
