Never Say Operation Bluestar, Its Ghallughara Bluestar


Recommended Posts

GurSikho, the term "operation" is used to describe removal of a tumor. Have we become so shameless that we use this term coined by the Indian government and continue to refer to those jujharoo shaheeds as "tumor"? Every GurSikh should therefore refer to this incident as "GHALLUGHARA BLUESTAR", and not operation Bluestar.

If we were to agree with your rather ridiculous suggestion, then shouldn't we drop the term Bluestar too - because that was also coined by the Indian (army) government????

According to Tarlochan Singh (Chairman of NCM) on Sangat TV today just that - he said we should only refer to the attack on Sri Harmandar Sahib (attack on Sikhi) in 1984 as a Ghallughara/Genocide!

It sounds ridiculous to you because it obviously differs from your way of thinking. Also, I started off my message addressing GurSikhs, who I believe do not brush aside a differing opinion as "ridiculous", so don't worry about commenting. As for re-naming "Bluestar", yes that is the name given by the government too, and as "Into the Light" said, there are people who prefer to use just "Ghallughara" for the attack on Sri Darbar Sahib. I wasn't aware that such a claim was made by anyone. If you do not subscribe to this, by all means, please continue to refer to it as an "operation". No one will take you to court for it. However, those brothers and sisters of mine who find it shameful may tend to disagree.

I also agree with MS1NGH that an "operation" per say may not always refer to removal of tumor. However, in this particular case, the sense in which it was coined was indeed to refer to the jujharoo shaheed Singhs/Singhnees as a sort of tumor that needed to be taken out. MS1NGH, please explain as to what kind of confusion would it create if we referred to it as "Ghallughara Bluestar".

this is alittle off topic.... but i explained to my mum the attack was codenamed operation bluestar because blue is the colour of the akaali's... the khalsa uniform... sant jis dastar is also blue... also sant ji was refered to as the rising star (this is what another sikh had told me)....

my mum said when indira died it should have been code named operation yellow sari :laugh2:

Yellow sari, was red after though...

As for the name change, well it can be called anything to be honest. Some people don't even know what a Ghallughara is let alone pronounce it. Besides many things need to be addressed BEFORE trivial things as name changes.

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
