Description
Photograph of unidentified individuals outside the Vancouver Art Gallery in Vancouver, British Columbia (B.C.). Individuals had gathered outside the Vancouver Art Gallery for a vigil held in remembrance of Operation Blue Star.
Operation Blue Star was an Indian military operation ordered by Prime Minister Indira Gandhi in June 1984 to root out a group of militant Sikh separatists who had occupied the Golden Temple, Shri Harmandir Sahib in Amritsar, Panjab. During the military operation which was conducted between June 1-10, the leader of the group, Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale, his followers and many others were killed. The buildings of the Golden Temple also sustained damage. In retaliation for the military operation, Gandhi was later assassinated by two of her Sikh bodyguards.
