how did prime minister indira gandhi respond to the sikhs protest for self rule?
she encouraged them to move to the new country of bangladesh.
she supported their economic independence, but not political independence.
she brutally repressed it.
she encouraged it.

Explanation:

Indira Gandhi's response to the Sikh self-rule protest, centered on the demand for a separate Khalistan state, involved military action (Operation Blue Star in 1984) which was a harsh, violent repression of the movement. The other options are incorrect: Bangladesh is unrelated to Sikh self-rule demands, she did not support even economic independence for the separatist cause, and she actively opposed rather than encouraged the protest.

Answer:

She brutally repressed it.
