Assignment Question

Research Question: How did the 1984 Sikh Genocide shape the discourse on minority rights and religious freedom in India? Use the following 2 case studies in the paper:
1. The Babri Masjid demolition in 1992
2. Operation Blue Star at the Golden Temple in Amritsar Methods If completing a case study: Which case or cases will you be examining? (You need at least 2 case studies) Why? Provide a justification for choosing that case/those cases – what are you holding constant in your choice For example, if religion is another possible explanation for the outcome you are trying to explain, you might choose two cases with the same major religion but two different outcomes – this means that religion (since it is the same) cannot explain that difference, and other variables can be examined. What are your preliminary hypotheses (a statement with your initial guess at the answer to your question, based on the literature that you cited in the literature review and how it would potentially apply to your case/analysis) Analysis (this should be the main section of the paper) Layout of the analysis section will depend on what type of method you choose and what you think will help to provide the greatest clarity in your analysis. For example, if you are completing a case study, you may choose to write out what happened chronologically OR you might choose to have subsections analyzing certain aspects of the framework or hypotheses that you are testing Discussion/Conclusion What were some of the challenges of this analysis? Give some final thoughts on why the findings/takeaway from this project help us better understand a question or aspect of political science Works Cited List OR Footnote Citations List, in full citation form, all of the resources that you have referenced for the research.
You may choose whatever citation format you want, as long as it is consistent throughout the paper: for example, if you choose to use Chicago format with footnote citations, then you should use that throughout the paper. If you choose to use APA or another parenthetical citation format, then make sure to include the citations (author name, year, and page numbers where needed) within the body of the paper, with the full citation in the Works Cited list at the end.
