[rohittewatia]

Hello,

Can somebody having no political tags and personal feelings shed some light on what went wrong in 1984 in india that led to vast homicide in our homeland.

...The same ol' story....

How about the knockout 'hot' combination of:
'Desi mob mentality and local political agenda's'!??!

hmm

Pakistan deliberately tried to alienate the sikhs and succeeded to a large extent.
Indra Gandhi used Bhindrawale in political gains and supported him. He in turn became a terrorist leader and a hero for sikhs. He wanted punjab a seperate country. i was studying in punjab at that time and have seen my fllow sikh classmates hero worship him and shout khalistan zindabad.
Every single sikh felt that Army did a wrong thing by going into Golden temple and killing him. General Vaidya was assasinated after his retirement. Indian army suffered heavy casualities just to mainatin the sanctity of the Golden Temple.
When the sikhs themselves realised the bogus nature of this terror movement and faught against it (KPS Gill), when the local sikh population went against the terrorists, the problem was solved.
When Indira Gandhi was killed by sikhs, on ground lot of sikhs celebratd and distributed sweets. I remember the son of the Commanding Officer of my fathes battalion who happened to be a sikh said to me "Achha hua saali mar gayi, hamare golden temple pe hamla karwaya thaa usne."
Yes, there were politicians who were intrumental in the riots. Mob mentality like in Godhra incident took over.
But i am sure in my opinion that Hindu samaj is more tolerant than other communities.
Throughout the period of disturbance in Punjab, hundreds of hindus were masacred. Buses were stopped and hindus were pulled down and shot. Has anyone talked about them. Hundreds of Army men including sikhs were wounded and killed in Golden temple(the first officer to enter golden temple was a sikh and he volunteered to be the first to enter). Who will talk about those widows and martyrs?

The entire episode in my opinion was a failure on part of the politicians. The indian politicians are weak selfish people who only have their own interest supreme, country doesnt mean much to thm.

nothing went wrong

My dear friend why you guys forgets the history so easily. nothing went wrong just pakistanese politics to seprate indian punjab as a so called f*****g khalistan(sikh's country) and some stupid people who dont understand that they are nothing without india thought they are more than enough to work on their own but they forget that there are people who also believes in dying for india without any hesitation.it's basicaly the vengeful action taken in context of indian diplomatic and political success in seprating bangladesh from pakistan,which was is and will remain as one of the indians greatest sucess in securing the border of india atleast from one side other wise we would be having one more border attached with paksitan and one more place to distract the concentration of our army during the war.It was the right decison and what every the decision taken during that course of time was brilliant and we should stay thankful to late shri indira gandhi (believe me i am not a congress supporter actualy i dont support any party) who occur as a brilliant decision maker, a true leader of the nation.she died because of her decisions she took during that time.so every thing happen during that time was meant to be happen, ya one thing i will say,which went wrong was some innocent got killed.i will say thats the problem with our people lack of patience to give the verdict without being logical but during that course you know society was devided so badly in to sikhs and non sikhs that it's hard to find which sikh is innocent and which is a terrorist but still i have pain for the innocent got killed during that period and i have my sympathy with their families but as we all know to suppress any revolt some secrifices should be given and it's good for their own good look at punjab now one of the most prosperous state of our country in the end i will say india is united and we people are one and together and thats important.

Navin bhai rightly said that bhindranwale was indira gandhi's puppet untill he revolted and then she got him shot dead.

However, what a small brain like me can think is that the Operation blue star was a result of her foolish acts.
Why did the necessity to attack golden Temple arised on the first hand?

Had the indira gandhi herself not made him that big? And, if a man grows big, he too will start to think independently. She imposed her personal political interests on the entire nation.

Rajiv Gandhi said: "When a big tree falls, the earth trembles!"...

Aajbhi agaar koiih bhi aur kissi bhi pradhan mantri kih hatya kar deyta hai toh aam janta koh ussey kyaah dookh pahuncheyga...mujhe aur apako toh kuuch naheen...jyada sey jyada hum yehih boulenge kih "Beychara accha dami thaah" yaah "accha hua mar gaaya, kameena thaah"...

Per kissi bhi haalat main hum sadkon per naheen utarange kissi koh marne key liye...

Yeh hamaare desh kah ghor durbhagya hai kih iss desh koh chalane waale hih iss desh key sabse badde dushman haiin.

Saabh partys koh paise aur power sey matlaabh...

Aur aik baat, "Why did the country had to suffer for this nehru, indira and other family member's misdoings"?

Karre koiih bhare koiih

Nehru family ney iss desh kah naash karne kah theka ley liyah hai...from the very beginning.

What happened in 1984 was simply unfortunate,i have heard stories that make me very angry,but the question is why havent those accused been brought to justice.
