>From the message forwarded by John: <Can any of the readers send me links to similar accounts of 1971, Operation Vijay or Operation Meghdoot, let alone 948, 1962, 1965 or Operation Blue Star?> The History Channel here in Canada showed on June 25 last a documentary called 'Storming the Temple' on Operation Blue Star as a part of its series called 'Turning Points of History.' It was a Canadian and Ontario supported production in association with the History Channel. It is bound to be shown again sometime later as these are usually repeated after some gap. So be on the lookout... There was brief appearance of Mark Tully in it, as also of the well-known Sikh journalist and historian Khushwant Singh and Gen Brar (who had led the Operation). The documentary also had one or two persons who explained why the militant Sikhs and their supporters abroad felt the way they did. While on this topic, let me mention that the same History Channel just in the last two weeks showed another documentary titled 'Air India Flight 182' in the series called 'Disasters of the Century'. It was about the sabotage of that flight in 1985, following Operation Blue Star. It resulted in the entire plane disintegrating off the coast of Ireland and the loss of all passengers and crew.
