1.Operation Blue Star was an Indian military operation carried out between 1 and 8 June 1984, ordered by Prime Minister Indira Gandhito remove militant religious leader Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale and his armed followers from the buildings of the Harmandir Sahib complex in Amritsar, Punjab. In July 1983, the Sikh political party Akali Dal's President Harcharan Singh Longowal had invited Bhindranwale to take up residence in Golden Temple Complex to evade arrest.Bhindranwale later on made the sacred temple complex an armoury and headquarter. In the violent events leading up to the Operation Blue Star since the inception of Akali Dharm Yudh Morcha, the militants had killed 165 Hindus and Nirankaris, even 39 Sikhs opposed to Bhindranwale were killed. The total number of deaths was 410 in violent incidents and riots while 1,180 people were injured.
2.The operation had two components — Operation Metal, confined to the Harmandir Sahib complex, and Operation Shop, which raided the Punjabi countryside to capture other suspects. Following it, Operation Woodrose was launched in the Punjab countryside against the baptized Sikhs.The operation was carried out by Indian Army troops. Casualty figures for the Army were 83 dead and 249 injured.
3.According to the official estimate presented by the Indian government, 1592 were apprehended and there were 493 combined militant and civilian casualties.
4.High civilian casualties were attributed to militants using pilgrims trapped inside the temple as human shields.
5.The military action in the temple complex was criticized by Sikhs worldwide who had interpreted it as an assault on Sikh religion.
6.Many Sikh soldiers in the Army deserted their units,several Sikhs resigned from armed and civil administrative office and several returned awards and honours they had received from the Indian government.
7.Four months after the operation, on 31 October 1984, Indira Gandhi was assassinated in vengeance by her two Sikh bodyguards, Satwant Singh and Beant Singh. Public outcry over Gandhi's death led to the killings of more than 3,000 Sikhs in the ensuing 1984 anti-Sikh riots.
