The Nankana massacre (also known as Saka Nankana Sahib) in Nankana Sahib gurdwara on 20 February 1921, at that time a part of the Punjab Province of British India, but today in modern-day Pakistan.[1] Between 140[2] and 260[3] Sikhs were killed, including children, by the Udasi Custodian Narayan Das and his mercenaries,[4] in retaliation for a confrontation between him and members of the reformist Akali movement who accused him of both corruption and sexual impropriety. The event constitutes an important part of Sikh history. In political significance, it comes next only to the Jallianwala Bagh massacre of April 1919. The saga constitutes the core of the Gurdwara Reform Movement started by the Sikhs in the early twentieth century.
