Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale
Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale was a prominent Sikh leader and politician in India, known for his role in the Punjab insurgency during the late 1970s and early 1980s. He gained notoriety as the leader of the Damdami Taksal, a Sikh religious institution, and became a symbol of Sikh nationalism. His advocacy for Sikh rights and autonomy led to significant tensions with the Indian government, culminating in the controversial Operation Blue Star in 1984, which sought to remove him from the Golden Temple complex in Amritsar, resulting in his death and further escalating sectarian violence.
