[QUOTE="AngloSikhPeace, post: 195281, member: 19790"] Not necessarily. It is clear that the SAS plan was either not carried out, or only had a minor influence on Blue Star. The SAS do surgical, precise commando raids, not massive armoured invasions, certainly not ones that resulted in the kind of huge military casualties we witnessed in 1984. And whilst the SAS are fearsome and ruthless, they don't murder civilians for no reason, or engage in the kind of petty, vengeful torture and humiliation that Indian troops subjected captives to. It is entirely within reason to suspect that the SAS drew up a relatively moderate plan to invade the Akal Takht with minimal loss of life, which Indira half-heartedly okayed and then ignored anyway because it did not suit her political desires and vindictive personality. Sikh Siyasat today highlighted a book written in 2007 by an ex-RAW agent, a book describing 'MI5 agents' being called to give advice on Operation Blue Star. Supposedly the agents advised Gandhi that an attack would be very foolish, and told her to allow the police to sort the problem out. Certainly if it turns out that the actual events of Blue Star as it happened were planned or influenced by the UK then there will be total hell to pay. But if the more likely scenario is true, and the SAS had advised Indira not to go ahead with the attack or had suggested ways to avoid the total humanitarian catastrophe that resulted, then there will not be nearly as much damage. The relationship with British Sikhs might even [I]benefit[/I] if it's discovered that the armed forces had advised against Blue Star. Aside from this, the fact that Britain knew about Blue Star beforehand could be damaging because British citizens were killed or hurt in the attack. The lack of forewarning might land the government in legal troubles. However, we haven't seen the rest of the letters, so we don't know whether the UK was notified in the end of the date of the invasion. EDIT: The Sikh Siyasat story I mentioned. It's a bit of a strange one. Too much 'so-and-so said this about thingymabob who is quoted as claiming this about the whatsitcalled'. But I think it does show something useful.
