[QUOTE="aman12, post: 182638, member: 19234"] Because he knew the government was going to use whatever force was necessary to crush sikh spirits. So better to fight for the cause than give up on it. From what i gather the situation was very tense in the 80's and the whole thing of Sikhs asking for equal rights since 47 and the refusal of the government to give them those rights was reaching a boiling point. It was obvious that the government wasn't going to Sikhs equal rights and end their discriminatory policies towards punjab (they ignored every morcha, so many innocent sikhs were put in jails or killed in fake encounters, they entirely ignored Anandpur Sahib Resolution and continued to treat sikhs as second class citizens). A prime example of that is when Sikhs weren't allowed to participate in Asian Games in 83 and were searched and humiliated all across Delhi. So the times were such that i suspect Bhindranwale knew very well that whether he stayed at Akal Takht or Keshgarh Sahib it didn't matter to the government. His views on Indira Gandhi and constant attacks on government policies that dealt with Punjab and Sikhs were taking its toll on the government and an attack was inevitable. Sikhs weren't going to stop asking for equal rights and Indira wasn't going to give sikhs those rights as it complicated things for her corrupt government and decreased her chances of getting re elected in couple of months. Plus you have to remember Bhindranwale wasn't just any man asking for equal rights, he was a highly influential man among Sikhs who was asking for equal rights. And guess what Bhindranwale was right about the government, at the end it didn't matter to them where he stayed as they attacked 40 other gurudwaras across Punjab when they attacked Harminder Sahib. And just to give you an idea about how apparent it must have been that they were going to attack, here's general Sk Sinha talking about Indira Gandhi asking for tanks and the army so she can deal with Bhindranwale in 1983. Sinha being a good human being refused to do so but it sure tells you the direction Indira wanted to take things to.
