This paper explores the theme of fragmentation and focuses specifically on the Sikh massacres of 1984 which followed the assassination of the Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi when she was gunned down by her Sikh body guards. Thirty two years down the line no perpetrators of the mob attacks and mass killings of the Sikhs have been brought to justice. The Indian sub-continent enfolds, within what appears to be the borders of a single nation, a bewildering complex of racial religious, social and cultural identities and any attempt to over-simplify the forces of division and conflict runs the risk of gross misrepresentation. More recently, the deliberated muting of the issues of justice against the Sikhs are apparent in the banning of the two latest films on the subject. In the present paper three short films have been analysed: "Injustice 1984," directed by Jarnail Singh; "Jagjeet" (2010), directed by Kavanjit Singh and "Kush" (2013), directed by Subhashish Bhutiani. These films depict real-life stories of persons from the Sikh community and explore the impact of religious intolerance and the violence of the Sikh massacres from the perspective of the victims. It seeks to highlight concerns regarding religious intolerance, questions of identity, legal silences and deliberated muting of the subject over the past years and the need for a complex critical evaluation of the responsibility of the state and its socio-institutional bodies towards its citizens.Este ensayo explora el tema de la fragmentación y se centra específicamente en la masacre sij de 1984, que siguió al asesinato de la primer minstro de la India Indira Gandhi, quien fue tiroteada por sus guardaespaldas sijs. Treinta y dos años después, los culpables de la masacre en masa no han sido llevados ante el juez. El subcontinente indio se muestra, dentro de lo que parecen ser los bordes de una sola nación, como un complejo confuso de distintas razas, religiones e identidades. Cualquier intento de sobresimplificar la fuerte division que existe, conlleva el riesgo de distorsionar la realidad. Recientemente, el deliberado silencio ante los asuntos de justicia en contra de los sijs son obvios: se han prohibido las dos últimas películas sobre el tema. En este ensayo, se analizan tres cortometrajes. "Injusticia 1984", dirigida por Jarnail Singh; "Jagjeet" (2010), por Kavanjit Singh y "Kush" (2013), por Subhashish Bhutiani. Estas películas muestran la vida real de gente de la comunidad sij, y exploran el impacto de la intolerancia religiosa y la violencia de las masacres desde la perspectiva de la victima. Se subraya la importancia de las cuestiones de identidad, la intolerancia religiosa, los silencios legales y el mudismo sobre el tema que ha habido en los últimos años, y la necesidad de una evaluación critica y compleja de la responsabilidad del estado y sus insituticiones hacia sus ciudadanos
