The Indian military action carried to remove militant religious leader Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale and his followers from the buildings of the holy Golden Temple, Amritsar is also known as “OPERATION BLUE STAR”. This operation was carried in between 1 June 1984 to 8 June 1984. The president of Akali Dal Party Harchand Singh Longowal in 1982, invited Bindrawale to stay at the sacred temple to evade his arrest. The dark times of the history began with when Bindrawale made the holy temple arsenal and headquarters.

RAW, Indian intelligence bureau reported that CIA and ISI together are working with Jarnail Singh Bhindrawale against the government in the favor of Khalistan Movement. The intelligence agencies claimed that Weapons training was provided in the gurudwaras of Jammu and Kashmir and Himachal Pradesh to fight against Indian Government for the Republic of Punjab. Pakistani Smugglers were caught in the routes of Kashmir and Gujarat who had relations with Khalistani Movement. After knowing all what is going in Golden temple, On Januray 1984, RAW(Research and analysis wing) prepared a plan to abduct Bhindrawale from the Golden Temple Complex. Everything was on point, but the operation never proceeded due to Gandhi’s rejection.

Many leaders went to Bhindrawale to convince him to surrender, but he declined all the proposals. Indira tried to convince Akali Dal to help her arrest bhindrawale, these things ended up futile among government and Akali’s. By 26May, the officials declared that they have failed to convince Bhindrawale and he is out of everyone’s control. Even Shiromani Akali Dal headed by Harchand Singh abandoned him where he declared,“This bird is alone. There are many hunters after it”.Giving his last interview he stated that,”Sikhs can neither live in India nor with India.”

On 1 June 1984, After the failure of Clinch between Indian Government and militants the former Prime Minister of India, Indira Gandhi ordered Indian army to launch OPERATION BLUE STAR. By June 3 1984, The Indian Army surrounded the holy temple encouraging militants to surrender but all went in vain. However, no one surrendered till 7 pm on 5 June. Taking the situation under consideration, Indira Gandhi ordered the paramilitary and Indian army to open fire at the temple. Without removing shoes, the Indian army and paramilitary entered the temple and started firing at the militants. The battle last till three long days, ending on 8 June. During the fight, 83 army men died leaving 249 injured. According to the reports, 1,592 militants were apprehended.

Sikhs from all over the world criticized the act by the Indian Government hurting their sacred believes. Many Sikh officials resigned their posts, returned their medals given by Indian government. On 31 October,1984 Indira Gandhi was assassinated by the two most trusted bodyguards Satwant Singh and Beant Singh as the revenge of OPERATION BLUE STAR. After the death of Indira Gandhi, Over 3000 sikhs were killed all over the country. This lead to alot of blood shed among Hindu and Sikhs. This was against 1984 Sikh-riots.

It’s been 36 years since Blue Star, Still the wounds are fresh.Surely,this is an unforgettable time.Healing takes time,We can heal it with love,affection and empathy among each other. Everyone has suffered in these dark times.Living in the same country with Brotherhood is the best ointment on this wound.

WHAT IS COVID 19?

The most deadly disease is spreading all over the world enormously known as CORONA VIRUS. The virus is called severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARAS-CoV-2) and the disease it causes is called COVID 19. According to the World Health Organisation (WHO) Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by a newly discovered coronavirus. Disrupting the life of several humans, disturbing the economic sector of the world as a whole, COVID19 will make the world famine one day.

WHERE WAS THE FIRST CASE OF CORONAVIRUS DISEASE OBSERVED?

This deadly virus appeared for the first time in Wuhan, China in December of 2019 which is now spreading in many countries. The earliest cases had a link to a wholesale food market in Wuhan, also known as the wet market but some had no connections with the market.

According to the reports by SOUTH MORNING POST, a news update channel had reported that A 55-year-old individual from Hubei province in China may have been the first person to have contracted COVID-19, the disease caused by the novel coronavirus. The case was reported back on 17 November 2019. Even with this Nov. 17 case identified, doctors can’t be certain the individual is “patient zero,” or the very first individual to have been infected with SARS-CoV-2. After this almost everyday new five cases were reported and cases increased day after day.

ORIGIN OF COVID-19

Doctors and Scientists are trying hard to unravel the story of the origin of coronavirus. Some scientists believe that the deadly virus emerged from bats, then probably they hopped to pangolin and transmitted to humans. The disease is now sweeping the world without any animal intermediate.

The Guardian in a report on April 28 quoted professor Stephen Turner, head of the department of microbiology at Melbourne’s Monash University, as saying what is most likely that the virus originated in bats. ‘But that is where his certainty ends,’ the reporter concluded. On the hypothesis that the virus emerged at the Wuhan live animal market from an interaction between an animal and a human, Turner says, ‘I don’t think it is conclusive by any means. Part of the problem is that the information is only as good as the surveillance,’ he said, adding that viruses of this type are circulating all the time in the animal kingdom.

Others says,‘I rather think that COVID-19 is a coronavirus which had an animal reservoir and passed into humans for reasons that are not well known yet,’ said Delfraissy, who is also president of France’s National Consultative Ethics Committee for health and life sciences. Another study claim to have ruled out pangolins as an intermediary because samples of similar viruses taken from pangolins lacked a chain of amino acids seen in the virus now found in humans.
We can conclude, the origin of SARS-CoV-2 is still a mystery and it will go longer to unravel this mystery.

“Let’s Make Earth A Better Place to Live”

“BLACK LIFE MATTERS” is the new trend on social media. It is an International human right movement originating in American African countries against the racism against black people. This organisation was found back in 13 July,2013 by the leaders Alisa Garza, Patrisse Cullors and Opal Tometi. Back in 2013, when a 17 year old teenage boy Trayvon Martin was killed by a white man in Florida. “Our Lives Matter, Black Lives Matter,” Ms. Garza wrote on Facebook. Ms. Cullors replied: “#BlackLivesMatter”. Ms. Tometi joined in and the hashtag spread its digital wing. This is how B.L.M. started worldwide. The aim of B.L.M. is to eradicate white supremacy and build local power to intervene in violence inflicted on black communities by the state and vigilantes. After 6 years, again this is the greatest topic in every country after the injustice by a policeman with a black-man.

After the death of George Floyd, “BLACK LIFE MATTERS” is again active and grasping everyone’s eye.George Floyd aged 46-year-old died after a white policeman knelt his neck about eight-minutes and forty-six-seconds on 25 May.He cried a lot times ,”I can’t breathe” were his last words and he called out his mother till his last breath.The officer Derek Chauvin worked at Minneapolis and is now fired. He will face a serious murder charges.The officer can face 40 years of imprisonment, 15 years longer for using third degree. The other three officers will also be punished for brutally harassing the black man and however, they were also involved in the incident.

While the other officers- Thomas Lane, J. Alexander Kueng and Tou Thao will be charged as aiding and abetting in the death of an unarmed black man that triggered eight days of national protest, court documents said on Wednesday.The warrant for the three has been issued by Mr.Ellison, according to documents. Mr. Ellison has requested that $1 million will be charged for bail of the four-fired-officers and will ensure all-four-men should be punished.

According to statements by the family of George Flyod,“This is a significant step forward on the road to justice, and we are gratified that this important action was brought before George Floyd’s body was laid to rest,” Benjamin Crump, attorney for the Floyd family, said in a statement.

Social media fled with tweets, posts and retweets in favour of BLACK LIFE MATTERS in every part of the world.Even the Canadian- Prime-Minister Justin Trudeau made a last minute appearance at an anti-racial discrimination rally in the country’s capital Ottawa unannounced and proceeded to kneel along with protestors as they paid homage to African-American George Floyd.Somali-Canadian Cabinet colleague Ahmed Hussen, the Minister for Families, Children and Social Development joined him to this impromptu rally.

Dr Theresa Tam, Canada’s chief public health officer,has asked the public for virtual rallies instead of gatherings due to COVID-19 pandemic.

Black Life Matters on their website urged people for a minute of silence for George Floyd, asking for justice for him. When will this discrimination end? When will everyone get a free environment to live? Support and join B.L.M. and stop racism and discrimination against caste,creed, color or religion.

This act against humanity left the world in terror. The fear of death and urge to live life grew in their eyes with the bombings in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The bombs took several lives leaving behind dead bodies. Even till day, the people who were born from the laps of the survivors of the blast are handicap, deaf , dumb,blind or with any other deficiency disease.

After arriving at the U.S. base on the Pacific island of Tinian, the more than 9,000-pound uranium-235 bomb was loaded aboard a modified B-29 bomber christened Enola Gay (after the mother of its pilot, Colonel Paul Tibbets).
