The events of June 1984 and their aftermath left deep scars on the collective psyche of Punjab
and Punjabis across the world. The loss of lives, the erosion of trust, and the social and emotional
consequences of that turbulent period continue to influence public discourse even today.
More than four decades later, it is important to reflect upon these events with objectivity, sensitivity,
and a commitment to learning from history. While remembering those who suffered, it is equally
the duty of Punjabis to contribute towards healing, reconciliation, social harmony, and the revival
of the spirit of Punjab, Punjabi, and Punjabiat
With this objective, the Global Punjabi Association (GPA) is organizing an online webinar to
discuss the impact of 1984, its aftermath, and the way forward for future generations.
