Operation Blue Star (Punjabi: ਬਲੂ ਸਟਾਰ, Hindi: ब्ल्यू स्टार (blyū sṭār)) 3–6 June 1984 was an Indian military operation, ordered by Indira Gandhi, then Prime Minister of India, to remove Sikh separatists from the Golden Temple in Amritsar. The separatists, led by Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale, were amassing weapons in the Sikh temple and accused of starting a major armed uprising.
The operation was carried out by Indian army troops with tanks and armoured vehicles. Militarily successful, the operation aroused immense controversy, and the government's justification for the timing and style of the attack are highly debated. Operation Blue Star was included in the Top 10 Political Disgraces by India Today magazine.
Actual figures given by Kuldeep Singh Brar put the number of deaths among the Indian army at 83 and injuries at 220. According to the official estimate, 492 civilians were killed, though some independent claims run as high as 1500. In addition, the CBI is considered responsible for seizing historical artifacts and manuscripts in the Sikh Reference Library before burning it down.
Don't you know I'm waiting for you baby?
Don't you know I'm waiting for a sign?
Because there's a light to guide us through the night
You might think I'm crazy
But I would die for you
Because I love you with all of my heart
Baby, I always will
Don't forget it
From the start, you and I were meant ot be together
A light is shining
A light is shining for me and you
And I know, the light is from the blue star of love
Memories electrify my senses
Of how it used to be before you left us
Because there's a light to guide us through the night,
yeah
You might think I'm crazy
But I would die for you
Because I love you with all of my heart
Baby, I always will
Don't forget it
From the start, you and I were meant ot be together
A light is shining
A light is shining for me and you
And I know, the light is from the blue star of love
A light is shining
A light is shining for me and you
"Blue Star"
Blue star over my shoulder
Blue star, can't you see?
Blue star, it's a little colder
She's gone away from me
And I wish I'd never seen her with the sunlight in her eyes
And I wish I'd never learned the game she played
And I wish I'd never listened when she told me all the lies
And I wish I'd never seen her walk away
She was everything I wanted
She was sweet mystery
Blue star, every night I hold it
She's gone away from me
And I wish I'd never seen her with the sunlight in her eyes
And I wish I'd never learned the game she played
And I wish I'd never listened when she told me all the lies
And I wish I'd never seen her walk away
Dark eyes shining like two diamonds filled with fire
Dark hair blowing in the wind of hot desire
Red lips pulling me now
Dark eyes glowing like two diamonds filled with fire
Dark hair blowing in the wind of hot desire
Blue star over my shoulder
Blue star, can't you see?
Blue star, it's a little colder
She's gone away from me
And I wish I'd never seen her with the sunlight in her eyes
And I wish I'd never learned the game she played
And I wish I'd never listened when she told me all the lies
And I wish I'd never seen her walk away
When blue stars turn red and marks decay
I'll be far enough to see me
Last night I dreamed you were here telling me
Time is the grey sore of eternity
Now I feel safe when the blue star turns red
When things go wrong And there's no one around to me I look at you, star of blue And my troubles disappear.
Blue star When I am blue all I do is look at you For I've seen to find peace of mind And I never get lonely When you shine from above.
Well you have been a fighting man
Youve seen your share of war
Living for your Uncle Sam
Sam dont need you anymore
Youll be gone, youll be leaving
Youll be back home again
On Christmas or July fourth
I really dont remember when
And Im glad to see your doing well,
We all know just who you are,
Put your saber on the shelf
and well take down the ole blue star.
Well I remember when youd send me letters
and make my day when I was young
Photographs with M-16s
and money from Somalia
Youll be gone, youll be leaving
Youll be back home again
On Christmas or July fourth
I really dont remember when
And Im glad to see your doing well,
We all know just who you are,
Put your saber on the shelf
and well take down the ole blue star.
Your back home with your little girl
wild and pretty, blonde and blue
you cant help but be their world
and they cant help but look like you
Youll be gone, youll be leaving
Youll be back home again
On Christmas or July fourth
I really dont remember when
And Im glad to see your doing well,
We all know just who you are,
Put your saber on the shelf
