What is thewatson commission?

The Watson Commission, officially known as the Commission of Inquiry into the 1984 Anti-Sikh Riots, was established in India to investigate the violence that erupted following the assassination of Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. Chaired by Justice Ranjit Singh Wazir, the commission aimed to examine the causes of the riots, assess the role of government officials, and recommend measures for justice and prevention of future communal violence. Its findings highlighted failures in law enforcement and the need for accountability, but the implementation of its recommendations faced significant challenges.
