From 1900 until the Partition of India, many Sikhs have been the innocent victims of violent crimes while they were seeking nothing more than the control of their own places of worship, equal treatment under the laws of the British Raj or seeking to lift the yoke of colonialism from India's long suffering citizens.
This is a database for those crimes and their struggles or cause.
| Crime + number of victims | Date | Incident | Place |
| 29 Sikhs wounded, 20 die | 1914 | Komagata Maru | Budge Budge, India |
| 379 killed and 1200 wounded / actual numbers unknown | April 1919 | Jallianwala Bagh massacre | Amritsar, India |
| Bhai Hazara Singh and Bhai Hukum Singh murdered | January 25, 1921 | Saka Tarn Taran | Gurdwara Tarn Taran |
| 86 Peaceful Khalsa Sighs and Singhnis murdered | February 20, 1921 | Saka Nanaka | Gurdwara Nankana Sahib |
