Sat Siri AKaal. You asked for info on the assault on Amritsar in 1984. I could only give you this: Prime Minister Indira Gandhi felt she had to launch an assault on what she regarded as Sikh militants/separatists who had taken refuge in Akaal Takt in Golden Temple complex. I really recommend you do some research and find out what was and has been written on that, and how it came to be. You can start with this Google search using the keywords "Amritsar 1984".
http://www.google.com/search?as_q=Amritsar+1984&num=10&btnG=Google+Search&as_epq=&as_oq=&as_eq=&lr=lang_en&as_qdr=all&as_occt=any&as_dt=i&as_sitesearch=&safe=off

Or go to Google advanced search http://www.google.com/advanced_search.html and then you can use other keywords, such as "Operation Bluestar", which was the codename for the assault.

I hope this helps. Guru ang sang,
