List of massacres in

India

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.
