Facebook and Instagram have unblocked the hashtag Sikh after nearly 3 months of restricting it, according to a series of tweets from Instagram's public relations team.
Facebook directed NBC Asian America's request for comment to Instagram's Twitter thread.
Sikhs, a religious group that originated in North India, make up around 30 million people worldwide, including an estimated 500,000 followers in the U.S. The reversal of the block comes during the 36th anniversary of Operation Bluestar, an Indian military raid of a Sikh temple from June 1 to 8, 1984, that led to nearly 500 civilian deaths. Anti-Sikh violence in India persisted throughout that year and after, including the 1984 Sikh Massacre, in which thousands of civilians were murdered. The hashtag #NeverForget1984 is being used on social media this month in memory of the violence.
