BBC NEWS | South Asia: "In June 1984, India's late former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi gave personal approval to Operation Bluestar. The objective was to flush out militant Sikhs, fighting for an independent homeland of Khalistan, from the Golden Temple complex. Bluestar achieved its military objectives.
But the costs were enormous. There has never been agreement on how many people were killed in and around the temple, and how many of the dead were innocent bystanders, rather than militants. "
