The Sole reason for Indira Gandhi's Death was THE OPERATION BLUESTAR.
I dont find any other reason as given on public accounts as relevant as this one to be blamed for...
The Whole Turnout of Events:
A group of extremists in Punjab demanded a separate nation of Khalistan for the Sikhs, In 1966 a separate state for the Sikhs was formed although close to 50% of the population was not sikhs. In 1984 Sant Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale along with hundreds of his followers started living in the sacred site, ( The Golden Temple) while the Akali Dal went on a rampage outside... Indira Gandhi as Known for her Daring attitude wanted to end the aggression of Bhindranwale and his followers, (one of them being an ex Major General Shabeg Singh)
on june 1st 1984, under the guidance of the then Army General Arun Shridhar Vaidya, and leadership of Lt. Gen. Kuldip Singh Brar wid the orders of Indira Gandhi, Operation Bluestar was carried out to shun the militants out of the sacred site. With tanks and bazookas, heavy artillery, helicopters, armored vehicles, and chemical weapons inside the temple, the army cleared the site by the afternoon of June 10th, 1984, the army suffered a total of 136 casualties, while around 140-200 militants were killed. Also as many as 500 civilians were killed, while there were reports that claimed a civilian toll of around 5000,
Operation Blue Star is often compared to ‘the great massacre’ by the Afghan invader Ahmad Shah Durrnai, 1762. It was criticized for its no holds barred approach. The Operation could have been avoided using blockade tactics, which was later adopted by Rajiv Gandhi in Operation Black Thunder.
3 Months later. Indira Gandhi was murdered by her Sikh Bodyguards,Satwant Singh and Beant Singh (assassin) on 31 October 1984. Beant Singh shot her three times using his side-arm, and Satwant Singh fired 30 rounds, Beant Singh was later shot dead in a closed room while Kehar Singh was later arrested for conspiracy in the attack. Both Satwant and Kehar were sentenced to death and hanged in Delhi's Tihar Jail. Later even the the Army General Arun Vaidya was assassinated on 10th Aug 1986, while recently Lt.Gen K.S. Brar was attacked in london with a Knife in 2012. (Sikh extremist jailed over knife attack on Indian general in London)
