Operation Black Thunder I and II are two relatively unknown events but are very important. While the Indian government claims it is regretful for invading Amritsar in 1984, they did the very same thing on May 12, 1988, although not on the same scale. The indian government were distraught that "militants" had restored the Akal Takht and assumed control of Amritsar again. This was too much for the government and just like 4 years previous they laid siege to the foundations of Sikhism. However in this operation, not many people died but the effect on Sikhs is the same because to think the Indian government are apologising then having the audacity to attack the Golden Temple.
