Thanks, Narayanjot ji.

I read the article next to that picture. It had some truly bizarre statements.

Quote:

Prime Minister Indira Gandhi ordered the army to attack more than 1.000 heavily armed Sikh extremists barricaded inside the temple grounds.

Quote:

Taking great care to preserve the sanctity of the Golden Temple...

Quote:

But the gold domed temple proper. which sits in the center of the complex. was unmarked by the battle. Government spokesmen stressed that the army had gone to great efforts to preserve the sanctuary, even taking more casualties than would have been normal in order to preserve it.

Quote:

Intelligence sources also showed that the temple had become a haven for smugglers who had helped the militants finance their arms buildup through the transport and sale of heroin, hashish, and stolen gold, silver and jewels

and total complete hypocritical irony:

Quote:

"We are all bruised," said one top-level Indian official. "We have killed our own people. India's future and its soul now depends on our humanity, on gentle, forgiving, patient wisdom."

And we have a critical mass of stories there now in the 1984 sub forum so that people can see how the media was mixed up in this conspiracy of silence, and how the facts took forever to filter out. At least to NA where we heard dribbles and could not figure out what in hell was happening.

To this day it remains instantly amazing that a story can be told in words as if "Everything was in dis-array politically; now things have been tidied back up; unfortunately we needed the Army to do it. now all is back to normal." Yet the picture is a picture of a pool of blood. "Back to Normal?" This is a divine space, and a pool of blood? As you yourself know -- it is not back to normal yet.

Unfortunately many think that they would be following their religion or qualify for heaven only if they hate other religions and destroy/kill the followers of other faiths with blind hatred. No religion says that. Ignorant activities like these filled with hatred actually transform the humans into satans. History is the evidence to say that this type of ignorant hatred has been the root cause of most of the holocasts the world has seen. I pray that the almighty bless the hate mongers with wisdom, humility and the feeling of fraternity and peaceful co-existence with other living beings.
