Is the Generation Born After Op Blue Star Still Angry 31 Years on?

31 years after Operation Blue Star, the youth of Punjab talk about the wounds that are yet to heal.

For many members of the Sikh community, Operation Blue Star and the 1984 anti-Sikh riots are two painful episodes whose wounds refuse to heal.

Acts of excess against civilians during the operation to flush out Khalistani terrorists, and the brutal anti-Sikh riots that followed five months later after then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi was assassinated, have gone unpunished.

‘Justice’ has remained a term used as election-time rhetoric.

31 years on, we ask the youth in Punjab, many of them born after the two incidents, how they feel.
