Operation Bluestar: The Attack on the Sikh's by Indian Armed Forc


ATTACK ON OUR FAITH !
SIKH

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Above : Smoke rises in the Golden Tample complex during the
brutal Indian army attack on June 1984.
On this day the foundation for an Independent Sikh Homeland was laid.

"OPERATION BLUESTAR" is the code name for the June 1984
attack on Sri Harimandir Sahib, Amritsar, by the Indian Armed
Forces. This attack was conducted under the pretext of "flushing
out terrorists" but was designed to cause maximum damage to the
Temple Complex and the Sikhs inside. The attack took place on the
day of Guru Arjan Dev Patshah's Shahadat Gurpurab observations.
The operation was sanctioned under the orders of Indira Gandhi
(then prime minister) and Zail Singh (then President). The Golden
Temple Complex was attacked by the Indian Armed Forces using
tanks, helicopters, and other heavy artillery. Sri Akal Takhat was
desecrated during this attack. Sri Darbar Sahib sustained at least
300 bullet holes. Thousands of innocent people were murdered in
cold blood.

Their fault? They were attending the Martyrdom day of Guru Arjan
Dev Ji. The brave GurSikh soldiers in the Akal Takhat, numbering
about 250, gave extremely tough resistance to the Indian army.
However, their resistance was no match to the large number of
tanks, helicopters, bombs, and other heavy artillery that destroyed
the Akal Takhat. The Sikh Nation rose as a whole to protest against
this ghastly attack. Thousands of Sikhs were martyred in the holy
precincts of Darbar Sahib. Hundereds of Sikh Army personal left
their posts and marched straight to protect Darbar Sahib, many
were killed or imprisoned. However, Indira Ghandhi did receive
retribution for her black deeds on Oct. 31st, that same year.

History of Sikh Reference Library (Destroyed on June 7, 84)

The destruction of the Sikh Reference Library is a loss that can
never be fulfilled. No wealth in the world can ever restore what was
destroyed during the Operation Blue Star by the Hindu government.

The Sikh Reference Library was fine until the evening of June 6,
1984. This has been verified by the in charge of the Library S.
Devender Singh Duggal. The library was set ablaze on June 7, 84 in
the early hours of the morning.

S. Karam Singh Historian had sown the seed of scientific reasearch
in Sikhism. Later Bawa Budh Singh took the initiative and
established the Sikh Historical Society in Lahore in 1930. It did
not flourish after his death, but his legacy lived on. On February
10, 1945 fans of Punjabi history and literature gathered at Amritsar
under the leadership of Princess Bamba, daughter of Maharaja
Dalip Singh and laid a foundation stone of the Sikh History
Society.

The main goal of this society was to present the history of the Sikh
Gurus in its true form. The Sikh History Society decided to
establish a Central Sikh Library on January 12, 1946. After being
acquired by SGPC it received full fianancial support of the SGPC.
On February 8, 1947 the Sikh Reference Library was established. It
housed some rare source documents on Sikhism, the origin of
Khalsa, hand-written manuscripts, Hukamnamas, Leases,
Certificates, ancient pictures, etc.

The Sikh History Society published its catalog of books according
to which the library had 2335 Punjabi books and hand-written
manuscripts. Several of them were also in Assamese, Bengali, and
Sindhi, etc. It also had 1047 English books.

According to a publication by Shamsher Singh Ashok (Historian
and research scholar of SGPC) called "Sada Hath Likhat Sahit"
(our hand-written literature) published in 1968, there were 383
volumes in this library which dealt with 980 different topics. In
addition, there were many Hukamnamas by the Sikh Gurus, 2500
hand-written copies of Guru Granth Sahib, a Bir (of Guru Granth
Sahib) of Bhai Hardas which bore a handwritten Mul Mantar page
by Guru Teg Bahadar Ji. There were many illustrated Birs,
Janamsakhis, and rare Sikh scriptures. Among many other it had
"Kavendar Parkash by sant Nihal Singh; Ajit Sagar by Surjan
Singh, Bhagat Sudhasar by Bhai Bidhi Das, Bhagat Premakar by
poet Jassa Singh, Bansavalinama by Kesar Singh Chhibar and many
more such historical books. The library had about 20,000 such
books in June 1984 according to the Library officials. There were
many copies of Guru Granth Sahib which were extremely valuable.
There also was a manuscript which was prepared by Guru Gobind
Singh five years after the martyrdom of Guru Teh Bahadar Ji. He
himself added the Bani of the Ninth Guru in that manuscript at
Damdama Sahib. The date of this copy of Guru Granth Sahib was
1739 Bikrami. In addition there was rare copy of Guru Granth
Sahib that was obtained with great difficulty by S. Gian Singh,
Chief Minsiter of Patiala from Damadama, Talwandi Sabo. This
version of Guru Granth Sahib did not have Ragmala at the end.

All of this was reduced to ashes in Operation Blue Star!!!!
