Operation Blue Star at Golden Temple to remove Sikh militants.

Operation Blue Star was a military operation carried out by the Indian government to eliminate Sikh militants who had fortified themselves inside the Golden Temple complex in Amritsar. The militants, led by Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale, sought to establish an independent Sikh state called Khalistan. The operation was launched to restore law and order in the region and to flush out the militants. The decision to conduct Operation Blue Star was met with widespread opposition from the Sikh community, who viewed the Golden Temple as their holiest shrine. The military action resulted in significant damage to the revered site, leading to outrage among Sikhs around the world. The operation also resulted in numerous casualties, including civilians caught in the crossfire. The aftermath of Operation Blue Star was profound and far-reaching. It deepened the divide between the Sikh community and the Indian government, leading to increased tensions and violence in the region. The operation also had political repercussions, culminating in the assassination of Prime Minister Indira Gandhi by her Sikh bodyguards in retaliation for the military action. The scars of Operation Blue Star continue to be felt in the Sikh community, with many viewing it as a traumatic and tragic event in their history. The operation served as a catalyst for further unrest and violence in Punjab, as well as heightened security measures in the region to prevent similar incidents from occurring in the future. #OperationBlueStar #GoldenTemple #SikhMilitants #Amritsar #Khalistan #PoliticalUnrest
