In 1984, a planned genocide targeted Sikhs in India. Over 30,000 were killed, with many more displaced and homes marked for identification. Sikh men were burned alive, women were gang-raped, and children were brutally attacked. The police and government were complicit, allowing the violence to continue. The Indian state orchestrated the pogroms, falsely labeling them as riots. The genocide was meticulously planned, with evidence of premeditation and police involvement. The Indian state and media downplayed the extent of the carnage. Justice has been elusive, with few perpetrators held accountable. The BJP, as well as the Congress party, were complicit in the violence. The suffering and bloodshed of Sikhs continue to be erased, and those seeking truth are silenced. The genocide was justified by many Hindus, who showed support through their votes. #1984SikhGenocide #NeverForget1984

39 years ago, at least 30,000 Sikhs were slaughtered over a 3 day period with at least another 300,000 left displaced and homeless. Voter lists with details of Sikhs were distributed across India. Sikh homes were marked so they could be easily identified. https://t.co/cO0myXfq7v

Video Transcript AI Summary

The number of Sikhs killed in the recent riots has risen to 1,000, with unofficial estimates suggesting a much higher figure. Thousands have sought refuge in camps, too afraid to return home. Conditions in the camps are dire, with overcrowding, lack of food, water, and medical supplies. Many Sikhs claim that the police stood by and even encouraged the violence. Families are desperately searching for missing loved ones, but the task is nearly impossible. The fear and mistrust among the survivors make it difficult for relief workers to offer assistance. The only hope for reunification lies in the survivors returning home, but in sensitive areas, this remains unlikely. The army is providing armed escorts to the camps for those who choose to leave.

Speaker 0: The official estimate of the number of Sikhs killed has now risen to a1000. Unofficial estimates put it many times higher, and the full Horror of the onslaught on them is only now becoming clear. Thousands of sought protection in special camps, too frightened to go home. From one of these, Ken Rees has sent this report. It was filmed yesterday by an ITN crew, but delayed by an Indian government clampdown on satellite communications. Speaker 1: We traveled to a refugee camp outside Delhi. The police had strict orders not Speaker 2: to let us Speaker 1: in despite pleas from some of the Sikhs Eventually, we did get in. It was a large college building now home to thousands of terrified Sikhs living in squalor. They fled her from many miles around and told her stories of how they'd hid in places like drains and fields to avoid the rioting before reaching safety. This man was a victim of the riots who survived an attempt to burn him alive. His wife tries to comfort him. We saw many more like this who lived, but many died, and their widows were mourning today. You could not move in the courtyards without bumping into or tripping over people. Many were washing outside in gutters in the road. Sikhs place great store on cleanliness, And their religion calls for an uncut beard and long hair. Many had their heads shaved by the mobs. Speaker 2: You see, Speaker 1: I used to look like this, said mister Puran Singh. His identity card showed a proud bearded man. Now he has no beard and a shorn head. The government wants to destroy us, they told us. They were eager to talk about the situation. Speaker 3: We are homeless. We are family less. And moreover, above all, no safety. We can't imagine how we'll survive ourselves in this India. Speaker 1: The camps are guarded by Indian troops and police, there are at least 3 in the Delhi area alone. At another just 3 miles away, a food lorry had arrived. The Sikhs angrily told us that they themselves had arranged it. From the government, there's almost nothing, they said. And, certainly, we noticed a great shortage of food, Water and other essentials. Many of the Sikhs claim that police have stood by and watched and even encouraged the rioting. And we ourselves have seen police look idly on during last week's anti Sikh riots in Delhi. A relief worker in this camp showed us his list of dead and injured. He compiled it after talking to people in just 1 block. The list contained hundreds of names. We were told stories of dreadful horror. Mothers whose children had been killed wept as they spoke. This was the story of just 1 6 year old boy we met in the camp. Can you tell us what happened to this boy? Speaker 4: Petrol was sprinkled on Speaker 2: him and set on fire. Speaker 1: He was set on fire. Why? Speaker 5: Days after the killings, it was still the river, not the authorities, that bore away many of the bodies. Others were removed by the police, who are unsurprisingly sensitive about Sri Lankapuri. Speaker 4: Sorry, please. Speaker 5: Those who had survived were taken by the Police to a refugee camp 5 miles away, which now holds 2,000 survivors of the massacres in East Delhi. Speaker 4: They burned the tire off this truck and put it in her Speaker 2: neck and Speaker 4: burned her eyes. And her son also. They pulled him from the house. In the hair, they put, kerosene oil and burnt alive. He ran and they throw stones on on him Speaker 5: Many seem to have had only the most basic medical attention, a smear of Mercuriclum or ointment. But it was an organization of volunteers appalled at the atrocities who've organized the soup kitchens and emergency food centers and provided the medical supplies. And despite their efforts to provide food and clothing, both, we were told, were still in short supply. Relief centers like this one run by the People's Unity Committee, an ad hoc group of volunteers, Are overflowing with blankets, food, and clothes destined for Sikhs stranded in good waras or refugee camps. But however badly they may be needed, none of the supplies piling up in the relief workers' stores will meet the most urgent need of the survivors. The need for news. News of what happened to their brothers, sisters, parents, or children from whom they became separated during the chaos of the massacres. Speaker 6: When these mobs Turned down on them. There was just panic. So in certain cases, the men and the women have just ran away run away from there to wherever, they could find any space, leaving the children behind at times. Speaker 5: In the big refugee camps, the relay system can hardly keep pace with the piles of scribbled messages and appeals for missing relatives. Speaker 7: In the Speaker 5: whole of Delhi, relief workers estimate there may be as many as 20,000 people who've had no news of at least 1 close relative since the massacre. The task of tracking them down is all but impossible. There are 15,000 people listed as living at this 1 refugee camp alone. All are worried about going home, but many are even more worried about whether they'll ever see their missing relatives Again, Speaker 2: my brother-in-law has been to Rishikesh for the cremation ceremony of my relatives over there When he was coming back on the 1st November by bus, he was caught at. And, there were 2 persons, And both were 6. Only 2 6 were there in the bus. The mob was attacked. 1 was took by the 200 people, and another was took by the 200 They were beaten up. We don't know what happened with them. And since 1st November, they are missing. Speaker 3: After they visit sons, they have been burned, And now only 22 girls 2 daughters of her are missing now. Speaker 5: She's missing her 2 daughters? Yes. Yes. How old are they? How old were they? Speaker 3: 1 is 18. 1 is 22. Speaker 5: The camp officials are keen to help, but they have more urgent problems to worry about. The late arrival of medicines and bad sanitation has led to fears of epidemics of cholera, typhoid or malaria. And while Sikhs who are still living at home call regularly for news of relatives, many of those in the camps are still too fearful to list the names and addresses of missing Speaker 6: seek relations. Speaker 7: They're very scared. They might not tell us. Even if the person is there, they might not tell us that he is there. So it's it require a lot of convincing that, look, we have come to help you? Speaker 5: Why is that? Why would they stand up? Speaker 7: They don't trust people after what they've been through. Speaker 5: Volunteers of the People's Unity Committee are now compiling a list of the missing. With so many bodies burnt beyond recognition, It'll be the only way of determining who survived and who didn't. Already, they've listed 1500 names. Speaker 6: We're only trying to see the positive aspect so far. Later on, of course, it'll be out that they're dead. But we're concentrating our energies Into locating the missing people. Because I think there's a ray of hope that this person might be alive. And their families are Very, very anxious. Speaker 5: The only real hope that families will soon be reunited is if they return home. In the more sensitive areas, that prospect may be remote. Here, the army is still offering stragglers an armed Escort to the camps.

@A__Kaur - AK

The intentional incorrect labelling of the Indian state orchestrated pogroms against Sikhs as riots falsely implies that Sikhs contributed to the bloodshed, were willing participants, or even had any ability to defend themselves against the one sided prearranged bloodbath.

@A__Kaur - AK

Referring to the 1984 extermination of Sikhs as the “Delhi riots”, has further allowed the Indian state to minimise the true impact and extent of the carnage that Sikhs across India were subjected to. From UP, Bihar, MP, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Rajasthan and Gujarat

@A__Kaur - AK

all the way to Assam, Maharashtra and West Bengal, Sikhs were targeted, attacked and murdered across the nation. In some instances, the full magnitude of the atrocities was not realised until years later. In Hondh Chillar, Haryana, for example, it wasn’t until 25 years later

@A__Kaur - AK

that the bodies of 36 Sikh men, women & children were discovered. They had been burnt alive by Hindu mobs and their bodies had been dumped into a well. In 2017, another 7 bodies were recovered, taking the current known number of Sikhs massacred in Hondh Chillar in 1984, to 43. https://t.co/DVaS8sO03Y

@A__Kaur - AK

Evidence from countless commissions, inquiries and reports has shown that the 1984 Sikh genocide was meticulously preplanned. In his column in The Tribune, Jagmohan Singh Khurmi wrote: “such wide-scale violence cannot take place without police help.

@A__Kaur - AK

Delhi Police, whose paramount duty was to upkeep the law and order situation and protect innocent lives, gave full help to rioters who were in fact working under able guidance of sycophant leaders like Jagdish Tytler and HKL Bhagat. It is a known fact that many jails, sub-jails

@A__Kaur - AK

and lock-ups were opened for 3 days and prisoners, for the most part hardened criminals, were provided fullest provisions, means and instruction to "teach the Sikhs a lesson". But it would be wrong to say that Delhi Police did nothing,

@A__Kaur - AK

for it took full and keen action against Sikhs who tried to defend themselves. The Sikhs who opened fire to save their lives and property had to spend months dragging heels in courts afterwards.”

@A__Kaur - AK

A report by Citizens for Democracy provided evidence that at least 150 of the ruling party’s members, including leaders, MPs and city councillors, had played an active role in what were described as “not an ordinary holocaust [but] an organised orgy”.

@A__Kaur - AK

The killings were scheduled to start on November 1 following a series of meetings held the previous night around Delhi at which Congress leaders allegedly gave the “final touches” to the plan that had already been prepared “with meticulous care”.

@A__Kaur - AK

Civil and military officers posted in Delhi between 1982 to 1984 confirmed that Sikh homes were singled out for marking by the Indian state as early as 1982. Intelligence sources also confirmed that detailed information on the Sikh community,

@A__Kaur - AK

including school and ration card registers, voter lists and the Delhi Gurdwara voters list, had been gathered in the lead up to Operation Bluestar. According to official sources, the preplanned genocide had been codenamed "Operation Shanti".

@A__Kaur - AK

It was initially planned to take place around November 8 to coincide with the first Sikh Guru, Sri Guru Nanak Ji Maharaj’s Gurpurab (birth anniversary), a time during which large gatherings of Sikhs take place at gurdwaras across the country, making for easy targeting.

@A__Kaur - AK

However, while the genocide was planned, the assassination of Indira Gandhi was not, and this unexpected event caused the planned pograms to be put into motion earlier than anticipated. Eye witnesses attested that meetings were held on the night of October 31 1984,

@A__Kaur - AK

by Congress officials, pulling together their previously made plans to "exterminate the Sikhs”. According to a junior officer who attended the meetings, it was decided that officials ‘down the line [were] to let the killings take place and then erase all traces of the crime’.

@A__Kaur - AK

There are reports of Sikhs being disarmed by men in their neighbourhood, on the evening of October 31, and being convinced to turn over their arms and to stay in their homes. These same weapons were used on them by mobs the following day.

@A__Kaur - AK

To malign sikhs & rile up the extremist mobs, propaganda was spread by the police. This included lies that Sikhs planned to poison Delhi’s drinking water; that Sikhs were killing Hindus in Punjab and sending corpses to Delhi by train; that Sikhs planned to attack Hindus in Delhi;

@A__Kaur - AK

and that Sikhs had distributed sweets to celebrate the assassination of Indira Gandhi. In addition to the police, Congress leaders, medical doctors, and the new Indian Prime Minister, Rajiv Gandhi himself, gave substance to the propaganda.

@A__Kaur - AK

Rajiv Gandhi justified the targeted murders of Sikhs, when he repeated one of these lies to prominent Indian journalist MJ Akbar, telling him that the killings were only extensive in the areas where the Sikhs had celebrated the assassination of his mother by distributing sweets.

@A__Kaur - AK

On November 1, 1984, the organised and systematic genocide of Sikhs began, conducted with remarkable precision and consistency. The attacks began at approximately 10am across the country as truck and bus loads of men began descending on Sikh neighbourhoods, fully equipped

@A__Kaur - AK

with firearms, lathis, iron rods, knives, clubs & an abundant supply of kerosene and white phosphorus powder; a flammable powder that ignites upon contact with oxygen & burns all the way down to the bone. The use of it on civilians constitutes a war crime under international law. https://t.co/2eibnPPEwX

@A__Kaur - AK

The mobs were whipped into a frenzy with the slogan "khoon ka badla, khoon se lenge" (blood for blood). Across the nation, Indian state owned media channel Doordarshan’s live broadcasting showed HKL Bhagat and his supporters beating their chests and shouting the same slogan. https://t.co/DNLMVVHJxD

Roving gangs have torched hundreds of cars and buses as they search for seek drivers and passengers, often indiscriminately burning any car in sight. Thick plumes of black smoke are visible on the horizon in every direction. Many Sikhs with their distinctive turbans and beards have disappeared from the streets, taking sanctuary in their temples.

At one point on 1 November, ‘a forty-second segment of [TV] footage showed the “blood for blood” slogan being repeated eighteen times. The mobs of mostly illiterate Hindu men, who would have been unable to read the names on the shops and houses and who, being from outside the

neighbourhood, would not have been able to identify Sikh establishments, were led by Congress officials and workers carrying voter lists, ration card and school registers who pointed out the Sikh shops and houses, or marked them with paint Nazi style.

@A__Kaur - AK

The police had three different methods of dealing with the carnage and atrocities: they were either conspicuous by their absence, passive observers, or acting in complicity by encouraging or actually participating in the violence.

@A__Kaur - AK

The police force was reduced at the beginning of the genocide; the 13 to 20% of the force who were Sikh were disarmed and taken off duty or confined to their barracks. Evidence shows instances of Sikhs who were defending themselves from the mobs

@A__Kaur - AK

being taken down to the police station, before being disarmed and released. All of these defenceless men were then butchered on their way back home from the stations. Numerous incidents were cited where Sikh men had gathered together and beaten back the mobs.

@A__Kaur - AK

The police would then come and convince them all to go back into their homes, assuring them of protection. Then when the mobs returned, they were dragged out one by one and killed. Police received repeated calls and faxes requesting help.

@A__Kaur - AK

Telephone calls to emergency numbers were either not answered or callers were given the stock reply that no help could be provided. In some instances callers seeking assistance for Sikhs were told to turn them "over to the mobs’.

@A__Kaur - AK

Senior officers disabled policemen who tried to counter the violence, refused army assistance in controlling the carnage and actively covered it up. They refused to hand over dead bodies to surviving family members, aware of the potential significance of the physical evidence.

@A__Kaur - AK

Police complicity also continued after the genocide. They refused to record people's complaints and FIRs. In the few FIRs that were registered by the police, the names of the criminals were rarely listed and were often filed much after the fact to cover up gross negligence.

@A__Kaur - AK

By November 2, the second full day of the genocide, the orgy of killing and destruction increased in intensity. Trains were "forcibly stopped by mobs" so that Sikh passengers could be murdered. In just one instance, 17 Sikhs “were taken out of the

@A__Kaur - AK

Pink City Express in Haryana and killed”. Like the police, the Railway Protection Force (RPF) supported and participated in mob attacks. The RPF allowed gangs of assailants to board trains, forcibly remove Sikhs, and kill them while the police looked on in approving silence. https://t.co/kbPlrwKYCb

@A__Kaur - AK

Mobs across India forced unauthorised stoppages of Delhi-bound trains, boarded trains and burned Sikh passengers alive. These stoppages occurred in at least 46 places. No inquiry, however, was ever conducted into these stoppages.

@A__Kaur - AK

On November 2, at Tughlakabad for example, the RPF explained the stoppage of two trains as being due to ‘defective signals’. A mob of 1000 people, ready for the stoppage, boarded the train and killed at least 9 Sikhs. The Special Occurrence Report led by the RPF,

@A__Kaur - AK

however, merely states that the mob ‘even went to the extent of assaulting the travelling passengers of one community’. Despite the extent of the violence on the trains, the RPF did not make a single arrest and the railway administration only recorded two FIRs.

The Indian state allowed the genocide to continue for days by delaying the calling in of the Army, and then purposefully failing to deploy the Army where violence continued. The order to call the Army into Delhi was issued at 2.30 pm on November 1, and on November 2 for Bokaro.

@A__Kaur - AK

Commissioner of Police, Subash Tandon, delayed calling for armed forces, even though reports of killings of Sikhs had flooded the police control room. Tandon continued to insist even until November 3 that “only between 15 to 20 people had been killed”.

@A__Kaur - AK

When a senior army officer suggested the establishment of a joint control room, Home Minister Narasimha Rao stated that he would decide that issue when the army arrived, contrary to the normal procedure of establishing a joint control room prior to the Army’s arrival.

@A__Kaur - AK

When the Delhi administration finally called for the army it did not provide civil assistance and troops remained lost in Delhi streets and troops were not allowed to open fire without the express permission of an executive magistrate, who "could be a police officer".

@A__Kaur - AK

This procedure proved useless since the units were often unaccompanied by an executive magistrate. The order for the appointment of an executive magistrate ‘who would attach himself to the army and give the required orders to act’ was not issued until November 3.

@A__Kaur - AK

To this day, very few perpetrators, let alone organisers, of the Sikh genocide have been held accountable for their actions. On the contrary, those responsible for organising the genocide were given awards and ministries to reward them for their actions.

@A__Kaur - AK

There is no doubt that Congress orchestrated the 1984 Sikh Genocide. However it’s the Brahmanical Indian state that was and still is responsible. Congress were merely the elected government at the time. If BJP had been in power, the outcome would still have been exactly the same.

@A__Kaur - AK

BJP were at the forefront of groups lobbying Congress to take military action at Sri Darbar Sahib. They were also complicit in the brutalities committed against Sikhs across India in November 1984.

@A__Kaur - AK

On May 3 1984, weeks before Bluestar, BJP leaders Lal Krishna Advani and Atal Bihari Vajpayee protested in Delhi, demanding that armed forces be sent into Darbar Sahib. After Bluestar, there were several media reports stating that the RSS distributed sweets to celebrate. https://t.co/BYxEdbjaMV

@A__Kaur - AK

FIRs lodged at the Delhi City Police Station named 49 BJP and RSS leaders, including Ram Kumar Jain; president of the Jain Mahasabha Ashram and a poll agent for Vajpayee, for charges of murder, arson, and rioting in the genocide. None of the people named have ever faced justice. https://t.co/CSY56DcQ5w

@A__Kaur - AK

On November 8 1984, Nanaji Deshmukh; RSS ideologue and leader, published an essay praising Indira Gandhi for Operation Bluestar and justifying the Sikh genocide by saying that it was the fault of Sikh leaders. He was recently awarded a Bharat Ratna by fellow RSS member Modi.

@A__Kaur - AK

BJP has been in power multiple times since 1984. They too have rejected every request from human rights organisations and individuals to declassify the Operation Bluestar files. They too have failed to deliver justice to those responsible for the Sikh genocide.

@A__Kaur - AK

It’s under BJP’s watch and rule that Jagdish Tytler, Sajjan Kumar, and 12 other perpetrators were acquitted this year for their roles in the Sikh genocide, despite there being overwhelming evidence of their involvement, including recordings of Tytler admitting his role.

@A__Kaur - AK

Even today, after almost 4 decades, the Brahmanical Indian state, its missions abroad and its media still try to erase evidence of the suffering and bloodshed rather than reveal the truth and set up reconciliation efforts. Those who try to expose the truth are silenced, imprisoned or eliminated.

@A__Kaur - AK

Hindus from the dominant ruling castes equated the slaughter of Sikhs with the burning of Lanka, as outlined in Ramayana, a Hindu religious text. The majority of Indians (who also happen to be Hindu) showed their overwhelming support of the sacrificial spilling of Sikh blood https://t.co/49uvhfsyli

by voting the ruling party back into power in the biggest landslide victory in Indian history. These same Indians would have done the same thing if BJP had been at the helm, because for them the genocide of Sikhs was justified. #1984SikhGenocide #NeverForget1984

In June 1984, the Indian Army attacked Sri Akal Takht Sahib, resulting in the deaths of thousands of innocent Sikh civilians. Sant Jarnail Singh Ji Khalsa Bhindranwale and other brave Sikh warriors defended the shrine, but ultimately attained Shaheedi. The Army committed horrific atrocities, including rape, murder, and torture. This marked the beginning of the Sikh genocide and a decade of human rights violations. The Indian state's oppression against Sikhs cannot be forgotten. #NeverForget1984

@A__Kaur - AK

The Indian Army fired cannons at Sri Akal Takht Sahib, Sikhs’ highest temporal throne & authority, until the morning of 6 June, 1984. 13 tanks, intended for fighting India’s enemies, had instead been used to slaughter India’s own citizens; thousands of innocent Sikh civilians. https://t.co/39kQ1KIKXQ

@A__Kaur - AK

Sant Ji prayed to be reborn to keep dying fighting against oppression, until the Sikh Panth is free from slavery. Hours later, shouting Jaikaras and firing at Indian Army tanks, Sant Jarnail Singh Ji Khalsa Bhindranwale, stayed true to his promise.

@A__Kaur - AK

On 6 June 1984, Sant Ji took his last mortal breaths while gallantly defending Sikhi and Sri Akal Takht Sahib against tens of thousands of invading Indian Army troops, with all their tanks, armoured carriers, artillery and helicopters, and attained Shaheedi.

@A__Kaur - AK

Major General Shabeg Singh ji; one of the greatest military strategists & war heroes, & Bhai Amrik Singh Ji; a Sikh yodha, scholar & intellect also attained Shaheedi, as did the brave Sikh warriors who had valiantly defended Darbar Sahib against the Indian Army for 6 days.

Once the Army had invaded the Darbar Sahib complex, the horrific violence, obscene human rights violations & crimes against humanity that occurred over the next days, & continued for over a decade after, made the atrocities of the first 5 days of the attack pale in comparison.

The Army raised the Indian flag at the complex; a practice used by military to indicate they have conquered enemy territory. Soldiers wearing boots and smoking cigarettes searched every room of the complex, throwing grenades into many of them, killing the civilian occupants. https://t.co/ufihg2yIMy

On June 1, 1984, Operation Bluestar was launched by the Indian state against Sikhs. The attack on Darbar Sahib was a deliberate strategy to crush Sikh demands for sovereignty. The Indian government had been planning this assault for 18 months, despite false claims of it being a last resort. Prior to the invasion, violence and unrest were incited against Sikhs. The attack coincided with a significant Sikh religious day. The firing on June 1 resulted in the death of 8 Sikhs. This event, known as the Battle of Amritsar, remains a painful memory for Sikhs. #NeverForget1984 #SikhGenocide1984

@A__Kaur - AK

Today marks 39 years since the Brahmanical Indian state declared war on Sikhs in an attack that was given the codename Operation Bluestar. In the lead up to June 1984, up to 160k troops consisting of 7 divisions, were deployed to Punjab equipped with tanks & helicopter gunships. https://t.co/0GdCRad4Kg

@A__Kaur - AK

Under the false pretext of apprehending ‘militants’ and ‘terrorists’, the Indian state used its army to unleash 10 days of terror, bloodshed and horrendous human rights abuses, unprecedented in post-independence India.

@A__Kaur - AK

Punjab was sealed off from the rest of the world, journalists were expelled, and a complete communication blackout was enforced, ensuring there were minimal witnesses to the carnage and horror conducted by the Indian state against the Sikh population.

@A__Kaur - AK

For 39 years the world has been fed propaganda, and Sikhs have been gaslit into believing, that Sikhs were responsible for the invasion and desecration of our holiest of shrines, Sachkhand Sri Darbar Sahib, the very heart of Sikhi and our highest temporal Takht.

@A__Kaur - AK

Contrary to Indian state propaganda, Darbar Sahib wasn’t invaded to flush out ‘militants’ or ‘terrorists’. Nor was it an unplanned attack conducted out of necessity, or in the interest of public safety, as has been falsely propagated by the Indian state for the last 39 years.

@A__Kaur - AK

It was part of a strategy designed to crush a revolution and to kill the spirit of a community. It was to punish Sikhs for our demands to exercise religious, economic, and political sovereignty as set out in the Anandpur Sahib Resolution. https://t.co/nDrF7rfnFo

@A__Kaur - AK

The attack on Darbar Sahib was conceived long before it was executed. Indira Gandhi had initially asked Lt. General SK Sinha to lead Operation Bluestar however, Sinha refused and advised that alternative solutions should be adopted. In an interview conducted by the

@A__Kaur - AK

Spokesman with Sinha on July 16 1984, he provided an in-depth account of the events leading up to Operation Bluestar: "The Army action was not ‘the last resort' as Prime Minister Indira Gandhi would have us believe…It had been in her mind for more than 18 months…”.

@A__Kaur - AK

According to Sinha, planning for Operation Bluestar commenced 18 months beforehand, shortly after the Dharam Yudh Morcha in 1982; the peaceful agitation for the Anandpur Sahib Resolution. The Army began rehearsals of a commando raid of Darbar Sahib at the secret 22 Establishment

@A__Kaur - AK

near the Chakrata Cantonment in the Doon Valley of Uttar Pradesh, where a complete model of the Darbar Sahib complex had been built. Training involving Aviation Research Centre Commandos was also provided at Sarsawa and Yamuna bed, near Saharanpur,

@A__Kaur - AK

where helicopters converted into gunships were used and additional models of Darbar Sahib had been built. It was in these locations that India’s military began practicing their unprovoked and deliberately deadly attack, in 1982.

@A__Kaur - AK

It’s vital to note that at this time, Sant Jarnail Singh ji Khalsa Bhindranwale, the man claimed by the Indian state to be a Sikh ‘terrorist’ leader and the reason for the invasion, was not residing at Darbar Sahib.

@A__Kaur - AK

On October 7 1983, two ordinances were passed: the Punjab Disturbed Areas Ordinance and the Chandigarh Disturbed Areas Ordinance. The Armed Forces (Punjab and Chandigarh) Special Powers Ordinance, 1983, was then passed on October 15, 1983.

@A__Kaur - AK

A full six months before unleashing hell on the Sikhs in Punjab, the Central government had laid the legal foundation for what was to come. The date for the attack was changed multiple times in the lead up to it. General K Sundarji, who was overall in charge

@A__Kaur - AK

of Operation Bluestar, is quoted as saying “I was told by the Defence Minister to prepare for the Operation on January 15, 1984”. Source: Inder Malhotra; Indira Gandhi: A Personal and Political Biography. This date, falling right before Guru Gobind Singh ji’s Gurpurab,

@A__Kaur - AK

would have ensured maximum crowds were present. The reason this date did not go ahead was because there were difficulties to overcome within the Army. In a letter from Simranjit Singh Mann to President Zail Singh it is stated “Maj General Kuldip Brar

@A__Kaur - AK

who accepted to undertake the operation, was not able to deploy his troops immediately as Maj Gen J.S. Jamwal, who was deputed earlier, refused to carry out the massacre of the Sikhs stating that, as a professional soldier, he could not butcher his own people”.

@A__Kaur - AK

Eventually, the timing of the attack was deliberately scheduled to coincide with another significant religious day for Sikhs; Guru Arjan Dev ji’s Gurpurab, a time during which tens of thousands of Sikh pilgrims gather at Darbar Sahib every year.

@A__Kaur - AK

Prior to the invasion, the Indian state ramped up its campaign of creating violence and unrest against Sikhs. In February 1984, the CM of Haryana provoked Hindu mobs to attack Sikhs, in a speech warning the Sikh leaders campaigning for the Anandpur Sahib Resolution that

@A__Kaur - AK

“Hindu patience is running out and retaliation is near”. Following this speech, frenzied Hindu mobs began to attack Sikhs in Haryana on February 15 while the police stood idly by and allowed the situation to escalate.

@A__Kaur - AK

On February 17, the Hindu mobs set cars and buses ablaze, blocked off traffic near Panipat and began pulling Sikhs out of buses and attacking them while police watched on and did nothing. On February 19 the violence intensified further as the 'Haryana Desam' organisation https://t.co/CfCxDNOnLo

Operation Bluestar, which shows that they were photographing and observing the entire area and the complex specifically. The Army was holding daily meetings with the Intelligence Bureau over the heads of the Punjab Police”. The Army, in CRPF uniform, had already surrounded

@A__Kaur - AK

Darbar Sahib two months before the invasion. By the end of May, it was widely known in Punjab that the Army was going to attack Darbar Sahib, and because of this there was tremendous tension in Amritsar and its surrounding areas.

@A__Kaur - AK

On 1 June, these fears became a reality when the security forces, who had spent months surrounding the complex and building fortifications on the multi-storey buildings around it, started firing.

@A__Kaur - AK

At approximately 12.30pm on the afternoon of 1 June 1984, India’s Border Security Force and the Central Reserve Police Force, under the orders of the Army, suddenly began firing without provocation upon the Darbar Sahib complex, aiming at the people inside the Parikarmas.

@A__Kaur - AK

The firing continued for 7 hours, resulting in the death of 8 Sikhs on that day, including Shaheed Bhai Kulwant Singh Babbar who attained Shaheedi while bravely defending the complex against the Indian state’s pre-planned attack on Sikhi. The Battle of Amritsar had begun.
