It would seem that 28 years is not long enough for those directly affected by Operation Bluestar to forgive and forget. That’s assuming the four suspects were indeed separatist-Sikhs bent on revenge.
BBC: “Police in London say the stabbing of the Indian general who led the 1984 raid on Sikhism’s holiest shrine was attempted murder.
Lt-Gen Kuldeep Singh Brar was stabbed in the neck by four men with beards on Sunday night. He is out of hospital.
Hundreds died when troops flushed Sikh separatist militants out of the Golden Temple in Amritsar in Punjab state.
The 78-year-old is thought still to be a target for extremist Sikhs, but the identity of his attackers is unclear.
Lt-Gen Brar, himself a Sikh, was one of the architects of Operation Bluestar, which removed armed Sikh militants fighting for an independent homeland of Khalistan from the temple.
According to the Indian government, the operation left about 400 people, including 87 soldiers, dead.
Sikhs groups contest this figure, saying the number of casualties was several times higher.
