An international conference titled “June 1984, the Amritsar Events: India’s Transnational Repression Against Ethnic Minorities in the Context of Genocide” will be held at Baku State University on June 3, organized by the Baku Initiative Group (BIG), APA reports, citing BIG.
Representatives of the Dalit community, who have suffered from the Indian government's repressive and systematic discriminatory policies, will participate in events held in Azerbaijan for the first time.
Prominent representatives of the Sikh community from Canada, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Germany, Switzerland, Australia, and the United States, as well as heads of think tanks, experts working in the fields of human rights and ethnic minorities, and individuals who have been direct victims of the Indian government's repressive, racist, and persecution policies, will also take part in the event.
