Join us as we merge six detailed videos into one comprehensive account of the pivotal events that unfolded during the first six days of June 1984 at Sri Harmandir Sahib, The Golden Temple, during Operation Blue Star. This video provides a day-by-day breakdown of the tragedy and heroism witnessed during this critical period in Sikh history.
June 1st, 1984: The Indian Army opened fire on Sri Harmandir Sahib, resulting in the death of eight innocent civilians. The Sikh soldiers held their positions, and Bhai Mehnga Singh Ji became the first martyr (Shaheed) from the top of Baba Atal Rai Ji’s Asthaan.
June 2nd, 1984: On the Shaheedi day of Sri Guru Arjan Dev Ji, the Indian Army allowed thousands of devotees to enter the Darbar Sahib complex before surrounding it with over 10,000 soldiers, trapping countless Sikh civilians and a small group of defenders inside.
June 3rd, 1984: Under General Shabeg Singh’s command, the Sikhs began to retaliate against the attacking forces. The architecture of Sri Darbar Sahib played a crucial role in their defense, as the elevated positions provided strategic advantages.
June 4th, 1984: Despite being vastly outnumbered, the Singh's maintained their Sikhi and continued their daily prayers. Their sustenance was fueled by more than just food; it was their unwavering faith in Vahiguru Ji.
June 5th, 1984: The focus of the Indian Army's assault on Sri Darbar Sahib led to discussions about whether Sant Jarnail Singh Ji’s presence was the cause. However, over 74 confirmed Gurdwaras were attacked across Punjab, disproving the notion that his departure would have prevented the attacks.
June 6th, 1984: The final day of intense battle saw the remaining Sikh soldiers regrouping at Sri Akaal Takhat for their last stand. Sant Jarnail Singh Ji performed a final Ardaas to Sri Guru Hargobind Sahib Ji, delivering his last message to the Sikh warriors. While some Sikhs escaped to continue the struggle, others chose to stay and fight till their last breath, attaining Shaheedi.
