"

The accidental release of secret documents in the United Kingdom in 2014 revealed that the Thatcher government was aware of the Indian government's intention to storm the temple and that a SAS officer was tasked to advise the Indian authorities on removing the armed Sikh militants from the Golden Temple. According to a report by the Sikh Federation of UK, India was one of the biggest purchasers of military equipment for UK between 1981 and 1990. Most of the Foreign Office's documents on India from 1984 are classified in whole or in part.[79] "

change "India was one of the biggest purchasers of military equipment for the UK between 1981 and 1990"

to "India was one of the biggest purchasers of military equipment from the UK between 1981 and 1990" BrysonP (talk) 06:17, 29 March 2024 (UTC)

Please remove this derogatory prefix of " militant" from the name of Sant Jarnail Singh Bhindrawale . The Indian government has never till date publicised the man as militant . Thus, use of militant against his name is not only illegal , unlawful but also shameful act by the writer or editor of this page. 38.137.57.157 (talk) 00:46, 14 July 2024 (UTC)

:Then , please change " militant " to "Sant " before the name of Jarnail Singh Bhindrawale. 38.137.57.157 (talk) 00:47, 14 July 2024 (UTC)

::Bhindrawale was a militant though. In Punjab, Khalistanis use the term "Kharku" to describe themselves as militants. Captain AmericanBurger1775 (talk) 01:09, 13 October 2024 (UTC)

The second introductory paragraph mentions Sikh militant killings of hundreds of Hindus which is factually wrong as before 6 june 1984, a total of 300-400 murders have been committed in Punjab including non-insurgency related murders. The number of Sikhs killed was higher than 300. And the claim that the militants wanted a flight of hindus is unsubstantiated and matter of ongoing debate. The sources provided are not satisfactory. One can refer to even the Government records wherein no such hundreds of killings of Hindus can be substantiated. Please do correct it. 2409:40D1:14:F2BB:9414:B6D5:D9FE:4F6D (talk) 00:54, 16 May 2025 (UTC)
