Conclusion – Operation Blue Star
Operation Blue Star was aimed at the elimination of violent Sikh leader Jarnail Singh Bhindrawale. And his armed group that had weapons hidden in Amritsar’s Golden Temple. What the Indian Army managed to do came with a high price tag, however, because this action resulted in killing India’s Prime Minister at that time. Many riots also erupted in all parts of the country in 1984. Sikh communities in different parts of the world also started pointing out problems with Operation Blue Star. This further gave rise to more militants coming forward and fighting about the Khalistan movement, which was regarded as a terrorist group.
Operation Blue Star
Operation Blue Star was started by the Indian Army in June 1984 to conduct an operation on Harmandir Sahib, which is usually called as “Golden Temple” by many people. They also attacked 41 other Gurudwaras across Punjab state.
The Army managed to succeed, yet certain Sikhs became very angry because they saw this mission as an assault on their religion. It started at a time when human rights were not respected much in Punjab, and this situation is still affecting how laws work in India today.
