This resolution expresses the sense of the House of Representatives to support the recognition and commemoration of the Sikh Genocide of 1984 . It establishes a policy for the United States to officially acknowledge this event, highlighting the systemic and orchestrated genocidal violence perpetrated against Sikhs across India. The resolution notes that over 30,000 Sikhs were murdered during these atrocities, which included assaults, torture, and sexual violence against women. The text asserts that the Indian government, through officials and with police support, led these genocidal attacks and failed to intervene. Therefore, the resolution specifically calls for all perpetrators, regardless of rank or status, to be brought to account for their actions. Furthermore, it seeks to reject any efforts to enlist, engage, or otherwise associate the United States Government with the denial of the Sikh Genocide.
