Sri Nankana Sahib Massacre

Nankana Sahib is the birthplace of the first Sikh guru, Guru Nanak Dev.
The centenary of the Sri Nankana Sahib Massacre (Saka Nankana Sahib) is being marked in an event in Nankana Sahib on February 21, 2021.
It was also the site of the first big agitation by the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) to take back control of gurdwaras from priests (mahants) backed by the British.
Sikh leaders made attempts to bring mahant to the negotiation table but their efforts failed.

On February 21, 1921, the unarmed Sikh leaders (jatha) entered Nankana Sahib to take possession of gurudwara, they were attacked by the armed mahants. This led to the massacre.
