I'm wondering, how many army soldiers died during the invasion of the Golden Temple ? Anyone got any solid numbers. It pisses me off, that the army didn't order ordinary people to leave the temple and infact, they killed 1000 innocent people that that, also the fact they decided to pull it off on Guru Arjan's rememberance . Sikhs made up 12 percent of the army in the 80's , and if all of them had revolted , i fully believe the whole indian military would've been in dismay and weakened. Also, what important artifacts were stolen from the Golden Temple library ?
