Lament of an Operation Bluestar soldier

Hoshiarpur (Punjab) | June 07, 2006 9:01:16 PM IST

Twenty-two years after Operation Bluestar - the anti-terrorist June 1984 army operation at the Golden Temple - some soldiers who took part in it feel they have not got their due.

Kirti Chakra awardee Naik Jagpal Singh of 1 Para-Commando, who was completely blinded on the first day of the operation June 5-6, 1984, is one of them. A bullet had pierced his eyes as he tried to carry his company commander, who had been injured, to safety.

"It was a bloody operation, yet we did not get the benefits soldiers get for fighting wars," Jagpal told IANS, sitting in the veranda of his house in Depur village in this district.

Tears roll down his vacant eyes as he talks about the operation and his life thereafter.

"No benefits were offered to soldiers who got handicapped in Operation Bluestar, to set up some business, like petrol pump or jobs for children, on the lines of India-Pakistan or India-China wars," laments Jagpal.

"I only got a payment of Rs.100,000 each from the army and the government respectively," he says.

The day is crystal clear in his memory.

"I was the first man to have entered the 'Darshini Deori' in the Golden Temple complex with a rifle in hand, grenades in pocket and ammunition for a light machine gun (LMG). I led the squad inside and the moment we entered we were caught in crossfire from all four sides. Seventeen from among us died on the spot," recalls Jagpal.

A bullet pierced his eyes, but Jagpal was saved by a havaldar major.

Life changed. Today Jagpal stays with his wife and children, spending most of his time listening to the radio.

17 died on the spot... serves these evil scumbags right.

Maybe this excuse for a human being should beg forgiveness from Guru Sahib for the murderous actions he and his fellow army terrorists did in 1984. Insted of begging for compensation from the cold inept terrorism sanctioning government.

I dont wish to refer to that scoundrel Kuldeep kumar as "Brar" as I am also Brar .

He's a "kalank" on our caste .

His family had disowned him.

He's married to some Anglo Indian.

The fact is he's not a Sikh though he calls himself to be one.

But Remember that Amar Shaheed Sant Baba Jarnail Singh ji Khalsa Bhindrawale did not use his caste as he was a Khalsa but the fact is he was also "Brar" .

Why I quoted the above news item is that if you are or were at one time on the side of the Indian Govt you stand to gain nothing.

Ultimately you are neither of the govt nor of the panth and remembered by no one.

This holds true for Badal and the like .

But still dont why Sikhs are running after them .

I respect Sant ji as a Khalsa and True Sikh not as a Brar.

It pains when Kuldeep "Brar" is mentioned as the attacker of Operation Bluestar because I dont even consider that fellow a Sikh .But "Brar" is always mentioned with his name.

I remember how ashamed we were when we saw Kuldeep after Bluestar mentioning the attack and telling all lies on Indian TV which was the only source of news in those days besides radio.There was no cable TV.

So to neutralize the effect I mentioned Sant ji .It is fact Sant ji was born in Brar family of Rode village near Moga but was a true Khalsa.

By the way Lion King why are you so angry ?You must be in some remote corner of the world and perhaps in school .

I have been thru and seen all those times of 1980/90's in Punjab.

    • lol dal panth Panj told me explicitly not to associate with Vadhbhag Singh Sodhi followers!
    • We have lamp (or Jyot) the pure unscented candle for a reason. Traditionally, Patis used candle light (jyot), so they could read SGGS in darkness. Light, elec didn't exist. Dhoop is used to attract the "Good spirits" but also keep freshness where Maharaj will be.  Interestingly and coincidentally I heard Sakhi a few dsys ago. During Dasa Pitha's time these souls were roaming the Earth and even Sangat noticed. Maharaj asked them "y u here?" They replied during recitation of SGGS and making Degh they didn't bother lighting candle. THAT WAS THEE ONLY REASON NO GATI WAS GIVEN TO THEM!!!  AUTHENTICITY NOT CHECKED I heard once on YT like 2 days ago.  If u apply dhoop in one room of your house twice a week u will notice a difference esp in the smell and freshness of that room. 
    • Sangat ji, With the hot weather as per Guru's Hukm, how can we look after our kes?  First of all the beard! Working in Construction, factory and any other heated environment I UNDERSTAND! At my workplace it's over 32 degree celcius and sometimes we have to lift 20kg ALL! DAY! My tips, regularly shampoo the beard during ishnan. APPLY OIL! The technique of applying oil is by rubbing it thoroughly in the roots. Pay attention to the noise esp on the chin. You will hear this "crosh crosh" noise. Keep rubbing oil until u can't hear it no more! This means the oil has blended in properly.  Second tip on beard, keep an extra kanga in your pocket. Every two, three hours give your beard a proper comb down to get rid of any sweat or stickiness. SECOND BENEFIT! Do this all 12 months every single day your beard will look like it's been professionally groomed. TRY IT! People will ask you "What gel u use? How can yer beard be naturally like that?" You can say all I use is coconut oil or whaeva oil but just comb the beard every 2-3 hours for a minute.  As for the kes, morning time get rid of all the gronjra (or knots - forgotten English word), in the morning. However, during evening comb down make sure you get rid of small remaining gronjra and comb yer hair nice and straight. You will feel soooo so relaxed. Yes our hair will go unnoticed due to Dastar, but our hair demands time and self grooming!So proper combing down, spending a good 15-20 mins most evenings is an absolute MUST!  Most evenings I let my hair down and cover hair with my parna for 2-3 hours so it gets to relax from the tying up.  FINAL TIP! We are Sikhs so we keep fighting and remember this! The tradition of Dastar and uncut hair started in India, where the weather is twice as hot. Everytime we bring this thought in the mind, Guru ji will bless us and make us feel cooled down by a notch.  Fateh.       
    • Been so much nindya and attacking Shastarvidiya since the 2000s, however if we look at gatka now it's still mostly as poor and poorly taught as it was back then, still morris dancing moves and still behzti moves in BBC shows about sikhi and vaisakhi. If people were going to attack shastarvidiya, wouldn't have made sense to improve gatka instead and make it more effective? Additionally, the Nihang Singh presence has improved greatly now, and the cracks within the the SGPC and affiliated jatha jathebandis are showing more greatly as panth becomes more knowledgable with dasam bani and itihas day-by-day, so much gyaan which was lost within panjabi sikhs during colonial times. In the 2000s, the groups were able to talk down this bani and  gyaan by associating it with  RSS and hindus, brahminwaad etc. Not working so well now is it? However with gyaan it would be also good for us to try and preserve our martial arts and keertan vidiya as well! More and more crazy keertan videos are coming out from jatha members that are being made fun of and making sangat annoyed and upset, on tiktok and instagram reels.  
    • Author Posted April 24   On 4/21/2025 at 2:43 PM, ipledgeblue said: sirr should not be nanga because keski is usually worn.   Sikhs can sleep nanga-sirr if they choose to . Being from Punjab, almost every Sardaarji i know (amritdhari or not) sleeps/showers with their hair uncovered. I don't think Guru Sahib asked us to wear Dastar to sleep and I don't think it is in SRM.   The idea of "keski being worn to sleep" is cos in Bollywood films (Bachna Ae Haseeno) Sikh characters usually tie a gol parna when sleeping since the actor's usually Hindu. So they gotta cover his head somehow or he'd have cut hair. Same reason Diljit wore a pagg to bed in the El Sueno vid. Only time they didn't do that was in Gadar with Sunny Deol which just looked odd tbh   What in the world? What sikh or even a decent human would base their knowledge of their culture or religion on a movie industry, that too Bollywood?  Believe me, no sikh ever said, I must cover my head becasue an actor did so in a movie. I've been doing it all wrong, I must start covering mh head because the sikh in that movie did.  Just because every panjabi and sardaar you know, does something, also doesn't make it right..  Follow the guru. And if you have a medical condition, then exemptions can be made.  Just admit it, because of my medical condition, I am not able to follow this rehit. Why are you getting everyone else to drop to your level?
