A compilation of reports covering the 1984 assassination of Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, and the year of political violence in which it occurred. Covering the Amritsar Crisis and Operation Blue Star, the Indian Army's storming of the Golden Temple, in June 1984; the assassination of Indira Gandhi on 31 October 1984; Gandhi's funeral on 3 November, and the mourning observed in India and the wider world; and the anti-Sikh riots and pogroms which took place across India in the days and weeks following Gandhi's murder. The compilation features interviews with Indira Gandhi herself; UK Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher and other senior British political figures; Pakistani President Muhammad Zia-ul-Haq; Indira Gandhi's daughter-in-law, Maneka Gandhi; and Indira Gandhi's son and successor to the premiership, Rajiv Gandhi. Also interviewed are a number of prominent representatives of the Sikh community including Dr Jagjit Singh Chohan, the leader of the Sikh separatist Khalistan movement; Indian Member of Parliament Khushwant Singh; and Amarinder Singh, the Maharaja of Patiala. Taken together, these 45 reports serve as a valuable record of one of the most turbulent chapters in the history of India since independence.
