:: [[user:Nichalp|Nichalp]], the sources are reliable. I'll work on adding independent third party accounts of same allegations as time permits. There are several different accounts of army high handedness in this operation. I also suggest we add the reactions/statements of top Indian politicians at that time.

:::Hi All, I think this http://sikhcentre.wordpress.com/2008/03/13/comment-in-year-2000-on-operation-bluestar/ is an interesting article on the whole sorry episode of Operation Bluestar. Bluestar was in my opinion a massive mistake by the then Indian Government. The untold story is that most Hindu's were outraged by the entire episode. The fact that Bhindranwala had been placed in power by Sanjay Ghandhi is skated over. General Sinha's memoirs heavily criticised the whole episode and the events that led up to this.

:::: [[user:Nichalp|Nichalp]], There is no reason to question the reliability of the Harvard Human Rights Journal and their sources of evidence, and others such the Tribune, Chandigarh , BBC News and work of prominent Anthropologist and Human rights activists. We can’t ignore the accusations that have come against the Indian Army in this article. Eyewitness accounts and Mccarthy style disappearances have been covered by reliable media sources such as BBC. [[http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/3774771.stm]]. Prominent human rights activists and eye-witnesses accuse that the Operation was undeclared and unwarned. This is now accepted by the Brig Rao who executed the Operation..[[http://www.tribuneindia.com/2008/20080308/punjab1.htm#14]]]
