Answer

In 1982, Sikh preacher Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale moved his militant followers into the Golden Temple complex, which is the holiest site of Sikhism and is located in the city of Amritsar, Punjab. This act was seen as a provocation by the Indian government, and it led to a series of events that culminated in the Indian Army's Operation Blue Star, which resulted in the deaths of hundreds of people.
