Sikh holocaust of 1762

The Sikh holocaust of 1762 ( Vaḍḍā Ghallūghārā "the great massacre or holocaust") was the mass killing of the Sikhs by Afghani Durrani Forces that happened during the years of Afghan influence in the Punjab region owing to the repeated incursions of Ahmad Shah Durrani in 1764. As such, it is distinguished from the Sikh holocaust of 1746 ("the lesser massacre or holocaust").
