Synopsis:

HARD TO FIND

Review: Must buy this book to get information and we can get true information from different story one day but I extremely disappointed with Mark Twain who saying evil to saint bindera wala but think and look at your self in mirror and think you are sikh but I'm not saying your are true sikh and sham myself who people like you in born in sikh. --ByCustomeron January 26, 2014

A very well written first-hand account of the events from 1984. Lt. Gen. Brar is a true Sikh and the real saint as compared to Bhindranwale or any other militant. He flushed the evil from inside the temple, liberated the temple and restored the sanctity of the place. The evil inside included machine gun fortifications, ammo dumps, a grenade factory(!), bunkers and torture chambers. Though some civilians were killed, he saved hundreds of lives by ending the operation in just a few hours, before Sikhs from outside Amritsar would come in and make it an inevitable escalation. Lt. Gen. Brar is the Sikh hero who liberated the Sikh religion which was under siege from Bhindranwale and other militants! By the way Osama Bin Laden is considered a religious muslim imam (religious scholar or loosely translated as 'saint') by some fanatics. Bhindranwale was nothing but the Sikh equivalent of Osama Bin Laden. Now even religious-fanatic retards should be able to understand the above comparison!! --ByMark T "c-man"on January 18, 2013

Gen KS Brar, a sikh himself, was chosen to lead this thankless and foolish effort called Operation Bluestar. Brar discusses the background of the operation with an objective eye of a soldier. As he understands it, the operation was necessitated when Bhindranwale and his band fortified themselves in this holy place and started ruling Punjab by issuing murder decrees. Being a sikh and coming from an Indian army family, I can say that this is only partially true. In hindsight, Bluestar should have been a police action like Black Thunder. What the book doesn't bring out as clearly is the clumsy effort of the army (that lacked any kind of intelligence input) to carry out the operation. The blame for this operation rests solely on Indira Gandhi who let the situation deteriorate to such a state that the operation had to be contemplated. The book is a necessary read for anyone following Punjab politics if only because it comes from the actual soldier who carried out the operation rather than some hatemongers from Canada who also call themselves Sikh. --ByA customeron July 12, 2000
