The Report of the Justice G. T. Nanavati Commission of Inquiry, published by the Government of India in 2005, is the official inquiry's own findings into the 1984 anti-Sikh riots that followed Prime Minister Indira Gandhi's assassination. As a government inquiry's primary report, it is fully authoritative for what that official inquiry actually found, which is the fact this atlas cites it for. It is the state's own official findings, not an independent historical account, and the riots' causes, culpability and toll remain contested in ways that a fuller account needs additional, independent sourcing to cover.
