A Sikh reporter threw a shoe at the Indian home minister during a news conference after he was angered over the minister's reply to a question.
Palaniappan Chidambaram was speaking in Delhi about 1984 riots in which hundreds of Sikhs were killed.
The minister leaned back to avoid the hurled shoe which narrowly missed him.
Witnesses say the minister appeared unfazed by the attack which was similar to a shoe-throwing attack on former US President Bush in Iraq in December.
