A CANDLE IN THE DARK
An Exhibition of Sikh History


The National Sikh Youth Federation invites you to an Exhibition of Sikh History.

The exhibition will showcase how, in the context of Sikh history, Guru Nanak’s mission to build a truly utopian society encountered violent opposition. We will take you on a journey through the challenges we have faced from the beginnings of the Sikh Way, right up to the shocking events of our recent history, the Delhi Genocide of November 1984.

The exhibition is being launched on Tuesday Oct 30th from the new Houses of Parliament building, Boothroyd Room, Portcullis House, Westminster from 6-8pm to commemorate the Delhi Genocide.

An estimated 30,000 Sikhs were killed in an orchestrated and premeditated attack aiming to vanquish enduring proponents of Guru Nanak’s ideology; who did not succumb to the atrocities of the attack on Amritsar (‘Operation Blue Star’) and the purge of Sikh youth in ‘Operation Wood Rose’.

This will be a national exhibition, which will tour the United Kingdom for 6-8 weeks with venues currently booked in:

London 31st Oct – 4th Nov
Derby 8th Nov – 11th Nov
Leeds 15th Nov – 18th Nov
Glasgow 22nd Nov – 25th Nov
Cardiff 29th Nov – 2nd Dec
Gravesend 6th Dec – 9th Dec

We will be releasing further details via our events page, twitter and facebook
