Bhindranwale, Sant Jarnail Singh 1947-1984.
Indian Sikh fundamentalist leader, who
campaigned for the creation of a separate
state of Khalistan during the early 1980s,
precipitating a bloody Hindu-Sikh conflict in
the Punjab. Having taken refuge in the Golden
Temple complex in Amritsar and built up an
arms cache for guerrilla activities,
Bhindranwale, along with around 500
followers, died at the hands of Indian
security forces who stormed the temple in
`Operation Blue Star' June 1984.
