All in Circles!

All in Circles...

  • The Operation Blue Star started because of Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale who was the controversial leader of the Damdami Taksal, a Sikh religious group based in India. Incidentally the operation was commanded by Kuldip Singh Brar

  • This lead to the assassination of Indira Gandhi, the then Prime Minister of India by her Sikh bodyguards

  • This was followed by the Anti Sikh riots in Nov 1984, which witnessed more than 3000 Sikhs being massacred.

  • 25 years later - 10 commissions and still an unsolved case with controversial individuals being given clean chits prompted journalist Jarnail Singh to fling a shoe at Home Minister P. Chidambaram
Our sympathies to the victims of the 1984 riots!
