The recent attack on a former Indian Army General, K.S. Brar in London has once again opened up the old wounds. Brar was instrumental in a controversial army operation that was launched to flush out religious extremists, who had fortified the Golden Temple Complex, the holiest shrine of the Sikhs in Amritsar in 1984. Dubbed as Operation Bluestar, the military assault had left many dead and the buildings inside the shrine scarred with bullets and heavy shelling sparking angry protests from the Sikhs across the world. Brar was allegedly stabbed by the Sikhs during his private visit to London. So far two people have been charged.
