The untold story of how Britain turned a blind eye to a Sikh massacre (9 November 2017)
"When 8,000 citizens in the world's largest democracy were murdered in a government-orchestrated genocidal massacre in just four days, how was it possible for the guilty to evade justice? And to what extent does the West, and Britain in particular, need to look at its own complicity in this tragic affair?
On October 31st 1984, Indira Gandhi prepared for an unusually busy day of meetings scheduled with members of the British media, politicians and royalty.
The morning was to begin with a TV interview with the actor and dramatist, Peter Ustinov. In the afternoon she was due to host former British prime minister, James Callaghan, for tea followed in the evening with a private dinner with Her Royal Highness, Princess Anne, who was in India in her capacity as the president of Save the Children".
