On 31 October 1984, Indira Gandhi, Prime Minister of India, was killed by her Sikh bodyguards. The assassination sparked four days of riots that left more than 8,000 Indian Sikhs dead in revenge attacks. This came after Operation Bluestar was executed at Amritsar’s Golden Temple, wherein Gandhi had ordered the Indian Army to confront Sikh separatists who had taken shelter in the holy shrine.

Indira Gandhi is the first and only woman who served the nation as Prime Minister India from January 1966 to March 1977 and again from January 1980 until her assassination in October 1984.

“Her fortitude in the face of adversity and steadfast opposition to colonialism will never be forgotten. It is due to greats like her that India won freedom,” Modi tweeted.

According to various internet sites, the Rani Laxmi bai was also born on this day in 1828.
