![]() In political significance, it comes next only to Jallianwala Bagh massacre of April 1919. The event forms an important part of Sikh history. Between 140 and 260 Sikhs were killed, including children as young as seven, by the Udasi Custodian Mahant Narayan Das and his mercenaries, in retaliation for a confrontation between him and members of the reformist Akali movement who accused him of both corruption and sexual impropriety. The Nankana massacre (or Saka Nankana) took place in Nankana Sahib gurdwara on 20 February 1921, at that time a part of the British India but today in modern-day Pakistan. The massacre took place at Gurdwara Janam Asthan, in modern-day Pakistan.
