List of massacres in IndiaFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This list is incomplete you can help by expanding it (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_massacres_in_India&action=edit).

A massacre is the deliberate slaughter of members of one group by one or more members of another

more powerful group. A massacre may be indiscriminate or highly methodical in application. A

massacre is a single event, though it may occur during the course of an extended military campaign or

war. A massacre is separate from a battle (an event in which opposing sides fight), but may follow in its

immediate aftermath, when one side has surrendered or lost the ability to fight, yet the victors persist in

killing their opponents.
