The Fourth Direction

A retaliation for Indian Prime Minister Indira Ghandi, who was assassinated by her two Sikh bodyguards, the anti-Sikh riots of 1984 led to the deaths of thousands of Sikhs in India. Two Hindu men try to get to Armitsar by sneaking into the security compartment of a late-night freight train. While trapped in the compartment with several Sikh stowaways, one of the men recalls an incident in his village involving a man who was caught in the conflict between Sikh militants and the Indian military because of his family dog.
