50k? ur joking right? Operation bluestar alone 10-15k civilian sikhs killed by indian army (tying hands with turbans on n shooting ppl dead, using chemical gas, throwing grenades into side rooms filled with pilgrims etc). That doesnt include other 40+ gurdwaras which were systematically attacked across panjab. Then i havnt even started on operation woodrose, which killed thousands! Remember sikhs had been killed routinely frm 81-83 in fake encounters by state police, which led to so many sharam waleh police officers to leave panjab police and become sikh activists (simranjit singh maan n labh singh as 2 examples). Then theres operation metal, post-indira killings across n.india, which were aleast 10-15k sikhs were murdered, where place like hondh chillar r still being discovered, think of how many undiscovered there r? This all b4 the mass 2nd round of fake encounters during the independance movement/civil war (85-95), where police had quotas to kill as many sikhs boys (12-35 yo) as possible, under the watch of barnala/beanta/badal/presidential rule etc.
