Indira Gandhi ordered the invasion of the Golden Temple in June 1984, known as Operation Blue Star, to remove armed Sikh militants led by Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale who had taken refuge there. The operation resulted in significant damage to the holy site and the deaths of many militants, soldiers, and civilians. The invasion sparked widespread outrage among the Sikh community and led to increased tensions in India. Following the operation, Indira Gandhi was assassinated by her Sikh bodyguards in October 1984, which in turn triggered anti-Sikh riots across the country.

Why indira gandhi asked to destroy golden temple?

Indira Gandhi ordered the military operation to remove Sikh militants from the Golden Temple complex in June 1984 during Operation Blue Star. The temple was seen as a stronghold for separatist leaders demanding an independent Sikh state, Khalistan. Gandhi's decision aimed to restore government control and quell rising tensions in Punjab, but it led to significant controversy and backlash, including her assassination later that year. The operation resulted in considerable damage to the sacred site and heightened communal tensions in India.
