Answer 1

Indira Gandhi’s policy toward Sikh activists primarily **caused riots and destruction**. Her government's actions, particularly in response to the demand for Sikh autonomy and the events surrounding Operation Blue Star in 1984, led to significant unrest and violence in Punjab, as well as anti-Sikh riots in other parts of India following her assassination.
