- Lt Gen Kuldip Singh Brar is a veteran of the 1971 India-Pakistan War and the liberation of Bangladesh. He was also the commanding officer of Operation Blue Star and to this day, he remains on the hit list of Khalistani terrorists. In an informative conversation with Smita Prakash, 89-year-old Lt Gen Brar explains the preparations that went behind Operation Blue Star and the situation in Punjab during that time. He describes, in gripping detail, the operation and the events that followed. He recalls the assassination attempt on him by Khalistani terrorists ten years ago in London and how he fought back. He goes on to narrate his experience during the 1971 India-Pakistan War and the inside story of Pakistan’s surrender.

Sir Ji. I am a doctor and was 14 when operation Bluestar happened. I read a lot about that later. There is no way that operation could have been done differently. General Brar Sir Ji did a great job. I don't have any words to thank you Sir Ji. You are a brave man who loves his country more than anyone else. If there is heaven after death you will definitely have a place reserved there. Thank you once more Sir Ji
Funny thing. He's gonna go to Naraka. But believe you bullshit
@@theassassin8339 naraka is hindu concept 😂😂 so you mean to say hinduism influenced sikhism. Agreement i will take it.
What is being a doctor got to do with the comment you have made.
@@theassassin8339 Narak? Maybe he will have a drink with your Dad Bhinderwale who's rotting there since Bluestar.
@@theassassin8339 Naraka is fully occupied for khalistanis, no one can go their even willingly. Bhindi wala is permanently employed their as sweeper. And Brar sir is a saint who eliminated terrorists from Golden temple, God have prepared a special room for him in heaven.
We the real sikhs are a nationalist. Loyal to this nation.
People living in canada can spit venom about khalistan but can never ever succeed in breaking the integrity of nation.
Punjab is an Indian state and will always be..
Jai hind..🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳
Salute to you
Waheguru ji meher kare humare desh pe, outside forces have always tried to disturb the peace and integrity of our country, till we have true Sikhs like you, we need not fear, 1 Sikh who spreads message of peace and picks kripan only for defence is worth 1.5 lakh khalistanis who are nothing but a proxy of jihad done by ISI, they are not Sikhs
Absolutely brainwashed with your pseudo patriotism. You have no integrity with your comment. “We the real Sikhs”. A real Sikh is defined by the Guru & not slogans like Jai Hind. You have a misconception about spiting venom from Canada. If Panjab should have remained an Indian state than this military operation should never have been carried out. It was the military & the state that escalated this into the Khalistan movement because the Panjab movement was about the Anandpur Sahib Resolution. Not a separate Sikh country. They wanted to make this into sedation in order to completely crush this cause & get the Indian public completely against this & it worked. After Indira Gandhi’s’ assassination thousands of Sikhs were viciously burnt alive by baying Hindus completely backed by the state. The judiciary gave minor justice to the victims hence this struggle exits.
@@Karamjitbenipal25 Really than please enlighten?
Love my brother, my fellow country man, in the time of battle I will be proud to stand next to you as my compatriot against those who wish harm against us and our nation
A true Indian Hero. 1.4 billion people's gratitude. And to those who speak against this gentleman, you have little idea of history. But you shall know in due time.
"Until the lions have their historians, tales of the hunt shall always glorify the hunter,"
True heros of our country. Our salute to the armed forces and people like General Brar.
General Brar is a proud son of our country and we are extremely proud of him. He has made sacrifices not only in his active life, but is still doing so in his retired life. He doesn’t deserve hate coming from any quarters. He deserves lot of love and respect from each of us. He was a Maj Gen at the time of Op Bluestar, so I’m sure he was already aware of the consequences of the actions he would have taken during the op. As a true soldier, unmindful of personal threats and consequences, he carried out the lawful orders given to him.
If Punjab is safe today, it is largely because of him.
We love you and salute you Sir!
So you need say so much about him .Indira used him made sikh v/s sikh.
@@yashpalsingh2 ok. And then what?
If this is the tenor of his voice at the age of 89 , one can only imagine this man's aura in his prime
I thought the same
Ha Ha this dog has beaten many times and he remain hidden since 1884 , coward kutta
His memory is also sharp in 90s.
Thousands ( army men and civilians) lost lives due Brar's incompetent leadership ... Please read real history
@@gurdialkaur3137 not Brar.....Indira. she is the one who committed this blunder. Brar just followed the orders.
Highest amount of my gratitude and respect for this Indian who has fought many wars and has bounty on his head at the age of 89😢. May current establishment show to these men that We lest not Forget and show our gratitude towards their service and sacrifice. Highly motivated. Jai Hind.
God sees everything. One way or another im sure he will pay his dues.
I read his book Operation Blue Star many, many, many years ago. A very absorbing read.
I found his book very informative and written in a frank and fair manner, without any exaggeration whatsoever.
Truly he was a very professional officer of the highest standard. Worthy of emulation.
Everything he did was done with a great sense care and concern for his men and also the public at large.
What he did was not to bloat his own ego but to serve India loyally with all his heart and soul. Presently you do get soldiers of his calibre and stature.
Even today he faces many dangers but like a brave soldier he marches on fearlessly with his head help up high. Humanly fearless, indeed. Remember the saying - a coward dies everyday but a brave man dies only once.
His courage and professionalism speaks volumes about him and his personality. His name will always be written in the military annals of India.
I wish him well wherever he is.
Captain Raina’s tale would melt anyones heart. What courage and sacrifice for the motherland. He needs to be remembered by every Indian. And Salute to you Gen. Brar.
He is a liar and shameless person. He had killed thousands of innocent pilgrims. Bhindranwale never demanded Khalistan. Operation Blue Star 🌠 was a drama created by Indira Gandhi to win the coming general elections.
See, now this is real solider👍. I am punjabi who was 12 years old. They were like Taliban of that time. We were living in fear who didn't have turbans. Thank you Sir for your service👏
Oh stfu Sikhs would never kill innocent persons.
Sikh Turban or Burkha for Muslim woman in hot 45℃ Indian summers are a nightmare for me 🥲
I'm glad that I belong for a culture/religion where nothing in mandatory, everyone is free to have their own will and opinions 🙂
Punjabi Hindus overshadowed overpowered overtaken..by Punjabi Sikhs...Not only killed chased during 80s..but Many Leaders assassinated till 2022..No leadership..have lost voice to even whisper against Khalistanis in Punjab..very sad..!!
Hail to Gen Kuldeep Brar for a Great Job Well done both at the Blue Star and more at the BanglaDesh War, 1971. I was at Khulna, East Pakistan in 1971 June as an Indian Civilian. Went From Calcutta and returned to Calcutta. Then Immigrated to USA. Subroto Mitro, Retired US Navy, Washington DC
We salute you Lt. General Brar
A grand salute to this guy who followed the orders to the tilt but with dignity. This story deserves to be told to everyone.
What alternative this guy had anyway but to follow orders?
So upright, true soldier. I am also a retired air force officer close to 80s. You can not but respect such a good officer. Hats off to him. Every inch a great officer and patriot. Jai hind
Absolutely loved listening to Gen. Brar! This man has first handedly witnessed such major events in the history of India. Would love to listen more about his career in the army. Best wishes and I hope he lives a long and healthy life.
Jai Hind.
"Until the lions have their historians, tales of the hunt shall always glorify the hunter,"
True son of the soil. Indebted to you. Salute
Lieutenant General Kuldeep Brar did get a hard end of the stick. Unfortunately, the Congress dispensation never recognised the contribution of such honest and hard working Indian Defence Forces officers. Hats off to your service to the nation sir.
Peace upon your opinion..focus on unity and respect on all religious belief...
That's the beauty of officers like Sir, they don't run after glorification!
Ye india ka Kutta randi ki Aulaad killed n raped innocent Sikh girls of age 5,6 along with Indian military . He will Rott in hell with his whole family for raping little girls in Amritsar along with Indian military . We will never forgive
He displayed the hard end of that stick towards the innocent visitors to the Golden Temple who died because of his actions
I respect this soldier from the bottom of my heart
God bless you and you family sir.
Salute you, Gen Brar !! He represents the true spirit of Sikhi... The real Sikh is - The "Chadder -e- Hind" as the Gurus envisaged. It is a shame politicians create the mess for selfish goals and in the end, soldiers are told to take the blame and bullet. May he be blessed with a long life and health. It's sad we don't see men of such steel anymore. Jai Hind Sir!!
You think you have a right to do extra-judicial killings, steal river water, etc, etc, and then demand that Sikhs defend and fight for your country whenever you need it?
Chadar di izzat aur rakheya bhi karni padti hai.
Brar is a butcher of innocent people
@@immanuelcunt7296 bt bro,Gen Brar also took actions coz his fellow soldiers were dying. Though I totally understand the pain of yours and of all My Sikh brothers. Bt Army did the announcement to release common people and this thing is confirmed by a Ex Khalistani too. Don't you think Bhindranwale was responsible for all these deaths, as he kept those people inside even after announcement. Also he was taking shelters in a holy place with all the guns and rocket launchers, just coz he believed Army would never enter gurdwara complex, even after his people will keep on shooting Army. I don't think this is what our Gurus have taught us!!
Bt still, I would like to know your thoughts on these facts.
@@SatyamDixit-tl3bv Yes Bhindranwala has responsibility. However the operation was carried out with brute force and no regard for innocence, on a day when attendance at Darbar Sahib was high due to a religious festival.
Brar is responsible for much excess violence and killing too.
Bhindranwala is not guilty for bringing weapons into the complex, or for sheltering there, because weapons, shastar-dhaari for defense of self and innocence is a big part of Sikhism. But I agree he is very guilty for keeping the civilian people inside as a shield. But just because Bhindranwala has guilt due to his actions doesn't change Brar has guilt too.
Thank you for your sympathy, genuinely.
@@immanuelcunt7296 last 4 alphabets in your username checks out LOL
Amazing podcast..Blue Star is a .Classic example which was a result of bad politics and the army was called to clean up the mess and the monster Congress created at that time.. Huge Respects for this honest and brave man. At 89, the never say die attitude of this veteran is striking. Bharat is safe bcoz of the Army and strong Officers like him. May he stay blessed..JaiHind 🇮🇳
As a Punjabi Hindu whose family was chased out of their pind (village) by kharku's, saw their Hindu neighbors targeted and k/lled, pulled their kids out of colleges because they were getting shot up by these guys, I will forever be grateful for this guy. He's a hero to us. Bhindranwale might be looked up to by Sikhs but I think you have to be a special kind of low to not acknowledge what we went through in our homeland that we've been on since Rigvedic times. Similarly you have to be a special kind of low to not empathize with what Delhi Sikhs went through. These are not mutually exclusive events; both happened and both deserve justice. In an effort to pain all Hindus as bad our genocide has been swept under the rug. You can never get justice for 84 in Delhi without also advocating for justice for 84-93 in Punjab. We were literally hearing gunshots at night in our pind and waking up to another Hindu family being dead. Sikh neighbors would tell Kharku's were Hindu and they would terrorize them all night by telling the women to make their cha and pakore whilst beating up the men, finally r/ping the women even teenage girls and then shooting the whole family. Bhindranwale had to be stopped and so did Indira Gandhi. It is what it is and I'm tired of Sikhs acting as if this was a one sided genocide.
Human history is very varied and we all have went through harsh times and some of us are even yet going through. We should all respect present and embrace it with love . Live and let live 🙏. Today we all have freedom to choose whatever we want to preach , what ever we want to be , we should strive to be better as society and civilization. We should have more transparent justice , administrative systems and governance. There is no place and no time for hate today 🙏🙏🙏❤️please understand fellas
Kalistanis are taking their inspiration from the Islamists. Bechara, until they rape and commit genocide, then phir se bechara.

All she is supposed to do is let this veteran tell his story, but she couldn't resist her interventions. Never the less, an amazing interview. He looked 70 years old at the age of 89. Unbelievable!!!! Hates off to these great warrior sons of India and their bravery. We need a full 3 hour interview so that General Kuldip could narate him all major operations in great details.
A life lived one can only dream of. Being at the centre stage of 1962, 1971 wars and Op Blue Star. What a hero. Jaya Hind Sir
1971 Bengalis, Assamese, Tripura people heavily contributed, but no matter what, all credits Punjabis took as during English India colonization Punjabis were considered as "Martial Race"
@@NativeVsColonialThey were leaders of operations, that's why
I am amazed that at 89 Gen . Brar still remembers everything about 1971 war. Commendable. We wish Gen. a very Long, healthy and happy life.

That was such an absolute pleasure listening to General Brar and his incredible story. What a Gentleman, this country should always honour and remember such great souls who have dedicated their life to duty, uniform and country. Thank you Sir
We salute Col. Jasbir Singh Raina AC for his tremendous contribution.
I am Pakistani retired soldier, but wish Gen barar good health, he behaved like real soldier in 1971 war when he called wife of Pakistani officer to tell about her safety. A brave enemy is always better than a mean friend
Unlike the pisslamic barbaric forces, dharmic forces have the rule to never harm women and children that's why in old times they met at a open ground fought in day, recuperate at night and then begin the war again in morning.
That's what soldiers need to do, once the war is over, its over, no point to continue fighting

This was one of the best podcasts of all time !!!!
I am able to visualise everything in 8k clarity and feel the emotion during and after an operation with the explanation given by Lt Gen
I salute you sir from the bottom of my heart🫡
I can’t believe he is 89 years old. He is still sharp as ever and he fought 4 young Khalistanis in his 70s. He is a truly warrior! ❤
Looks like he is having some sort of dementia . He is not having proper figure, it good to listen his interview he have in 1986 and officer worked with him like Brig Khan / Brig Onkar Singh Ghoraya.
Don’t be blinded do research on it.
@@assran66 “Not having a proper figure” - are you serious? I want to see you at 89!
U are typically GUJI MODI BHAGAY, read book written by LK Advani “ MY COUNTRY MY INDIA” in which he mentioned on page 160 that RSS forced Inidra to attack DARBAR SAHIB. MAN IY IT POLITICAL AGENDS WHAT HAPPENED IN PAST THE CURRENT GOVERNMENT IS DOING SAME.
Please read more and investigate don’t be blind follower
@@assran66 Lol you believe LK Advani and not the general who was at the helm of affairs? You are a true follower of BJP.
@@assran66 yes they forced it jst like every nationalist did, who were against terrorism...also bhindi was indira's plant to counter akalis later he went rogue and joined hand with isi nd pak army
Great and true heros of our country. Our special salute to the armed forces and people like Gen.Brar.
Few in India have shown such astonishing dedication to duty like Gen. Brar. Salute.
I can't believe an 89 year old man sounds so lucid and clear minded.
I am a Punjabi Hindu and my parents have been through this all. Many of relatives were killed because they were Hindus. Many of the neighbours who were Sikhs helped my parents and their families. I was not born them. They cry when remembering those days, don't want to repeat it. The story which gen. Brar is telling, I have heard it hundreds of times in my childhood so I can say whatever he is saying is not wrong. People have heard story of Kashmiri Hindus through the movie Kashmir files but never heard about story of Punjabi Hindus in those times.
Tum jhoothi ho mother chodo pandyainnn
Why don't punjabi Hindus come out and demand justice? Why Sikhs cry one sided story
panjabi hindus gadaar since 1947 after first censes they gave hindi thier language while living in panjab.
After there was many morcha for panjab we sikh came with panjab because they agreed to give soverign state but they never gave to us and kashmir. hindu never stood that aswell this is in 1955 to 1965 all these morcha. after in 1980 when again the issue started in panjab they were laughing outside from panjab sent army to darbar dahb and inside they never supported anandpur mata which is benficial for sikhs not just for sikhs. they were giving sweets dancing outside darbar sahb after bluestar. till no no prticipation in anything farmer protest or even now.
@@huslter505 if you became a sovereign state then, punjab would have become a part of pakistan or as broke as Pakistan by now
Well Punjabi hindus shud be armed in case anyone of this happens again just like kashmir hindus are being armed
My respect to Gen. Bul Bul has risen to zillions time. Love you, Sir.
Proude of Gen Brar and Indian Army..God bless you with healthy and Happy life..Jai Hind..Jai Hindaki sena
Superb. Hats off to General Brar, a warrior future generations can look up to!
The 10th Sikh Guru was the true inspiration to me: He told the Mughal emperor: You manage to convert me, then you can convert all my people! that is bravery!
But still 50% of the Punjabis are converted Muslims.
No doubt that the Sikhs and the Marathas fought hard against the Muhammadans, but in the end they all were fighting in fractions to secure their own portion of territory.
If Sikhs were effective, the Muhammadans would never have been able to Invade Bengal in the East, and Cholas in the South.
@@NativeVsColonial Now there are 120 million Punjabi Muslims and growing daily while Sikhs are declining
What a Man ? Thank you and your family for your service to motherland. After all this years, you are still fighting. Salute.... We are indent forever.
Excellent interview
General Brar is brave and intelligent General
I salute him
Serving your country or being part of an Army is not a joke. We are not worthy of passing comments on him because we have not done even 10% what he has done for the country.
He himself is saying people hated him and people stopped talking to him , he continued because that is what a true patriot does. Nation is always above “religion”, its not a religion if it is not letting you worship/respect your motherland.
People saying him a liar I assume has seen everything for themselves, if they have so much of confidence they should go and debate with him face to face rather than sitting on cozy couch and playing youtube video.
Gen KS Brar almost saved India.
Met him in 2016-still he is very active.
89 year old man, yet spoke like a young soldier all ready to fight 🛐
Huge respect and prayers for this armyman..
What a General! Hats off! Gem of the Army.

Salute to Sir and his team 🙏🏼
We don’t want to listen this liar we know what happened and we are not misguided.
Read oppression in Punjab the gallant defender and the struggle for justice by four prominent authors as well as read the valiant jaswant singh khalra and the clashes of cultures and India since independence:1947-1991 as well as read the butcher of Punjab the true story of what had happened to the Sikh youths and the real story of sant bhindranwale ji no matter how much you go against him his pictures are still being hunted along with other eminent Sikhs from our history so please stop making our history into pro Hindu/ Indian that is what the Hindu extermists want.
Thank you for liberating Bangladesh general. Gratitude from a Bangladeshi. My grandfather met Indira Gandhi after liberation as a representative of the President of Bangladesh.

There are enough stories around India, Indian army to make great movies. Bollywood don't have to repeat the same third grade stories again and again. What a great story of Lt Gen Brar. I came here to comment after listening it on Spotify. Thank you for the great podcast Smita ji.
Smita should bring more of this kind of people on her show. They can definitely educate the nation. Leave out these political reptiles who drive anti-nationalist agendas.
My sincere salutations to Lt. General Brar for his unflinching dedication and selfless service to Mother India. Jai hind jai bharat ki jai
THANK YOU ...MR. BRAR. INDIA SALUTES YOU.... YOU REPRESENT INDIA AND ME....
😂coz he was coming from your ancestors of Iran called Aaryan,He was commander of Hindu terrorists regime working with government power...
@@user-ov9xf7eu1straight facts bro . 💯 agree with u dawg
What a brilliant, brave, commander he is. Him and many others who served alongside him certainly didn’t do things for the paycheck. They did sacrificed so much for the country they loved. I salute 🫡 them.
At one point the Khalistan movement will go away, may be 30 yrs from now or may be 100 yrs from now... At that point this man will resurrect as a model for Sikh integrity, commitment and bravery.
A life sacrificed for the idea called India... My tears on your foot for all the loneliness you go through from your own community. You are right and that is why waheguruji gave you long healthy life. God bless you from a malayalee Christian.
Thousand salutes to you Lt Gen. Brar Sir. I am 62 now, so I remember the Operation Blue Star and your contribution Sir. Also remember having read about the fate the first few Jawans to enter Golden Temple met with. But one thing to tell you, we, common people in India, far from Punjab were not getting full news at that time. Most of the news were censored. So like the new generation, even for me, almost entire information is worth listening. Thanks a lot Sir for your service to the nation especially at the critical time 🙏🇮🇳💐
This also a censored information
Why were they after jarnail Singh first, this has no answer based on evidence.
Salute to Lt. Gen Kuldip Singh Brar and what a soldier he is! He is the real son of soil means Bharat Maata.
Salute to Brar Sir for taking lead for the country🇮🇳
guys pls stay alert....there are some pakistani bots will comments in this section by fake account as hindu name or as a sikh name to create fight between us
Gen. Brar, your countrymen never could interact with you. But if we were in touch we would have expressed the gratitude of the people of Punjab and surrounding states for the operation you did. Because of you sir, thousands of innocent people could live their lives normally. Punjab was a den of terrorist and common people were killed and harassed. You are a true legends, a dirty dream of Khalistan will never bear any fruit. Nation is strong. Our Sikh brothers and Sisters know that Khalistan is a child of same enemy against whom Guru Govind singh ji fought!
Pakistan and their pawn sitting in Canada, US and UK can jump all they can. They will be neutralized just like Bhindrawala was. Jai Hind!
This is a very fantastic interview and frank speaking by Lt.Gen Brar.He his a brave soldier and even at this age he is straight forward. He knows that his life is in danger but he is ready for it .Salute to him.
Namaskar Lt. Gen. K S Brar+ Smita Prakash. 1980 was the most difficult times.The then prime minister Smt. Indira Gandhi and our forces deserve a salute.
From Bengal, Kolkata I feel happy to know about you General Brar sir and I am proud to salute you and wish everything best for you sir. Following the heroes like you of yesteryears I hope today's military leadership will continue to be as efficient and patriotic like you to offer their best for our country. Jai Hind.
ANI is killing it when it comes to podcast
Big salute to General Brar, also the incident about young Sikh from 3 rd battalion who got up and wanted to be the first one to go inside just makes us feel proud of our army men , nation first . 🇮🇳
You are salute to criminal shame on you
My hero - General Bulbul Brar sir!
Salute and respect for your selfless contribution to the nation 🙏🙏🙏
Because these type of soliders enemies can not destroy our motherland.
Jai Hind sir. My heartfelt condolences to the 400 soldiers who died inside the temple. Great souls who fought for the country that day.
I am able to recall the press briefing of Gen.Brar after the operation.
The army was forced to do a difficult, tricky and embarrassing job because of the failure of political leadership. So many soldiers were lost unnecessarily.
Let us salute the soldiers.

I just want to say one thing after watching this interview ... if army is blamed for getting inside the temple with guns n ammunition to kill innocent people but then why the locals n temple authority allowed binderwalla people to get guns and ammunition inside the temple .. n why the Saint n his pupil did not allow civilians go out without being harmed ....why ??? is it correct from there side ... any war or attack is result of both the side wrong or mistakes..... the temple is so pure place why locals didnot objected earlier .. did anybody thought about this now ... here if anybody has to be blamed is the bastard politicians n the one who nurtured binderwalla was punished by sikhs n why indian army is blamed they did their duty what they were asked .. n dont forget these army jawan also lost life n they too have family ... One more thing i want to say General brar is alive after so many threat because guru nanakji have given life n he will decide whrn his soul will leave this world ... I HAVE ONE QUESTION WHEN JAILLANWALA BAGH INCIDENT HAPPEN ..WHY GDNERAL DYER WAS KILLED N NOT THE SOLDIERS WHO FIRED ON THE INNOCENT CROWD ..WHY ??? .. DID ANYBODY THOUGHT ABOUT THAT EVER ??? ...
I am a Sikh and a very proud one. General Brar was following orders, but Indira Gandhi was not putting national interests first. She was a mentally sick person whose real intention was to attack a religion. She got what she deserved, Khalistan is and will always be her creation! She got her just deserts. Don’t expect any Sikh to just accept a holy shrine to be attacked
without a retaliation. It’s all her own fault.
Indira Gandhi only created this Khalistan issue. She initially wanted a Sikh religious leader to go up against Akali Dal, typical divide and rule.
Things went out of control when that Sikh leader realised, he was being played with.
Her family has given nothing pain and suffering and disasters to India. The only exception is 1971 war, thereby creation of Bangladesh.
@@dexterroy Amen to that brother 🙏🏽
I agree. Indira Gandhi wasn’t good for the fabric of Indian democracy and I want justice for Sikhs from the bottom of my heart. However when Khalisthani militants pick and try to murder these people who were only following orders, its hard to hold onto empathy
@@tapsimavinkeredayanand8454 These people who act in this manner are misguided unfortunately, General Brar was only following orders. It’s a sad story overall which this Gandhi woman caused for so many people. She was evil and it was her creation and this monster got out of hand. Bhindranwale was a nobody before he was poched by Congress to do their dirty work in Punjab.
Oo man what a life he has lived , doing the most difficult operation of his life, surviving assassination attempt, threats, but the sheer bolding and courage this man has.i don't think everyone can live the life he lived. No grief, sadness nothing absolutely remarkable. Indian army has fearless generals by which one I have seen Today. Thank you sir for your service which you gave to this country JAI HIND!!!
Yepp, you put the old general’s professionalism, bravery, courage, and very high moral height in perspective. Ours is a professional army, not like 90k soldier who surrendered to us in 1971.
Cowered he was in faver of Indra when Indira was in power and now against indira because of modi
@@yashpalsingh2 when did he say he was against Indira Gandhi?? And being a soldier you have to obey the decision of government even if it was against your ideology or not
The one and only general kuldeep singh brar.. Salute to the true sikh..
All Hat's of to Gen Brar and host.
@JHAJJ Shut up khotestani. Kuch krne ki awkat na hai teri...Aur Golden temple k traf kabhi dekhna bhi nahi.
@@jhajj847: Golden temple is not a place to hide. If anyone is brave enough to fight, fight in open. Why to hide in place of worship. Golden temple was a pure worship place but now it has turned in to a tourist place. Really painful to see.
@JHAJJ Abe chodhumal baba deep singh and sahaijadee fight was against freedom of religion and destruction mughals in general were cruel people who demolished temples and gurudwaras. Whereas your bhindranwale was creating a separate country he started hindu massacre first by pulling them out of their buses. Stopping trains and shooting hindu people? He openly said on mike that he will massacre 50000 Hindus if his khalistan won't be established.
@@yaddhillon200 vereee,,, I agree with you that bhindrawale was "Hidding" inside darbar sahib, totaly agreed, But Indira gandi (Army) attacked other 37 Gurudwaras, lets say Army wanted to kill kharkus, aggred, why they raped women, why they killed innocent youth of Punjab, lets say, Jaswant singh Khalra ji, was fighting for human rights, ok? , He went to Haryana/ Punjab high court, he went to canada, he went to international court, why he went missing? can you answer me?? Govt. policies has never been great for punjab, they wanted to destroy sikhi, why they choose Shiru guru arjan Dev shaheedi day for killing so called "Terrorists", veer ji,,, We need unity,, we need our rights ,, we need anandpur sahib mata,, not khalistan,,, Bhindrawale never demanded for khalistan,,, he only asked rights for punjabis,, which punjab earned,,, because after 1947,, british/ Nehru saud punjab will get different rights from others,,, why only Punjab devided into to parts, and after partition into Haryana/ Himachal, why they want to give punjabs water to other state without asking punjabis,, its a natural resource,, its written in Constitution, thats state have their own right to give their natural resource for free or not,,, So veer ji think about that,, do your own research,,,We also dont want India to be divided into 2 parts again,, we want to live in India,, but govt. has to decide whether they give our rights to us or not ( Bhindrawale) Waheguru ji ka Khalsa,, waheguru jiki fateh,,,
Modern generation might not realise what this great person saved them from.
I was in the adjoining state and vividly remember the atmosphere.
Thank you so much, sir.
General Brar is a national hero. God be with him and keep him in your grace.
One of the most thrilling interviews ever. Proud of you General saheb. 👏 My next generations will watch this program. And feel proud 👏.
I was a young officer in 1984 posted in Punjab. What the General says is 100% true
Many sikhs genuinely beleived that they were too good for India.
Even today many Sikhs in Canada & Aus harbour this crazy thought
The silent majority unfortunately is irrelevant
Recent events in Australia (Jan 2023) indicate that the movement is alive.
Security environment Punjab especially in the hands of AAP needs careful monitoring from the centre.
Now seeing the current situation, it looks like getting AAP in majority was planned by Khalistani so that they get free hand in Punjab and they can continue their movement
@@Vaireen hahaha..you can't run away from this fact. Sikhism is a sect of Hinduism. Who was the father of ur first GURU ? Tell him name and surname. Its like tomorrow my son stands up and say to people I'm a guru and we're a new religion now But unfortunately he can't deny that he is son a Hindu🙄
@@an4087 Nanak did not accepted Hinduism because of all these irrelevant and illogical Rituals like wearing that Zenuee (that thread which all my hindu brothers wears ) .Nanak does accepted Hinduism because of so much of inequality in society this like Bhramins , shatriya .
I am talking about castism .
Why woman in Hinduism are not allowed to enter temple while she has periods ,
Why Dalits are not allowed to enter in temple and temple is place of worship for Bhramins only .
Why are Bhramins so special .
You call this a religion ???
What is this Monday upwas or Karwachod ka warat ( where woman has to be empty stomach for husband ).
What is scientific reason behind it ???
Nanak wanted religion where all are same with no discmination in society .
The words is reform.
He brought refomed In society with this religion , with much superior thinking .
But why was this not done before or already done by some one before .
Do you know what the greatest human mind ever Albert Einstine has said about Sikhism .
Do you know Dr BR Ambedkar was about to convert to sikhi .
You don't want to know this .
Your understanding and logic of religion is very narrow .
@@Vaireen @Prabjot Singh Isher this js 2022. No one here is going to say casteism is right. And many Hindus will rejct it. That is enough for me. As for Guru Nanak he did not fostered hate. He promoted what he felt was right. He did it from this land and from within. The fact he belongs to this eco system and for a Hindu to consjder him part of the dharma traditions of this land and rever him is perfectly fine. You should not take that against them. Besides that Hinduism literature is rather deep and wise. To just debunk everything and make the other feel lesser is condescending.
By the way, I have no issues if you say you are not Hindu, but Sikh. Also, in Hinduism the final level is Brahman which is formless and the foundation of all manifestations. But you need not concern about that.
It was really a very critical situation. But our brave soldiers have fought with great aim and they achieved it.
He said we got 400-500 casualties within 8 hours and same on other side. Then why he took 6 days to complete the mission. Reality is that there were only few men inside golden temple and there were battalions of battalions outside the golden temple. Secondly, he said there were warnings on loudspeakers, but the volume was so low that people weren’t able to hear those. Even locals outside of golden temple were not able to listen the warning. And he got orders that there should be least damage to building of Gurudwara sahib, but the pictures of rightway after the mission depicted some other image. Guys always listen both sides of a coin before considering who is right and who is at fault.

My salute to Lt. Gen. Brar. Smita ji, this is one of most favorite podcast of mine. Thanks again. 🙏
Listen to his war strategy at 71 war how an Army surrendered wow thank you sir for sharing this and thank you for your service your are truly the son of India 🇮🇳
Thank you SIR!
For your selfless service to India, and humanity.
You deserve to have at least six bodyguards around you 24 hours of the day, at Indian taxpayers’ expense. You are mentally and physically young, and your family deserves you for at least twenty five more healthy years.
I salute a great son of Bharat Mata!
Amazing fitness at 89 years of age 🙏🙏🙏(quote true in his case "Age Is Just A Number") जुग जुग जियो जनरल साहब जी. लाख लाख प्रणाम। हमें आप पर नाज़ है।
🤣🤣🤣🤣 He is a liar and shameless person. Bhindranwale never demanded any separate country. Operation Blue Star 🌠 was a drama created by Indira Gandhi to win the coming general elections.
Have you taken the vaccination or still drinking 🍸 GM 🤑🤑🤑
Can't summarise with just a like symbol for this prestigeous podcast. The amazing officer fights 3 wars of rare quality, different reasons, different outcomes. Geneva convention may be a protocol, to follow it to the T shows the character of Manekshaw and his valiant men of rare humane qualities too.
Operation Blue star: It requires a fantastic mind to lead an operation that fights against own albeit immoral fellow countrymen. Political class using army for none too right causes will remain a blot forecer.
at 89 The Man as sharp as 19 year old. It is these men of honour who needs to have statues, airports, roads, institutions named after them.
thank you yet again Smita Prakash, for helping understand history from such well though out podcasts. hats off! Keep it going too
That one sikh army man (Captain Raina) who got up to go in first! India needs such brave sons! Shat shat pranam! Jai Hind! Jai Hind ki sena!

Mad respect for you, sir! Fought off 4 assassins at the age of 70, alone! Ready to accept death at the age of 89! You are a lion!
In the 70s, a little correction. These men are the reason our civilization goes on.

@@IASachin arrey i meant, that he was attacked 10 years back in London (as told in podcast), or maybe i got something wrong, idk. Since he'll be 89 this year, so i mean he must've have been in his 70s or late 70s. I didn't mean anything else, maybe my earlier reply didn't put forth this clearly.
@@sagarprashar4460 oh.. Alright bro
@@sagarprashar4460 I just googled, around 78 / 79 since the attack happened in 2012.
Absolutely a warrior, who fought off 4 cowards!
I am ashamed to see arms, ammunition and terrorists inside the most pure Golden Temple. Amazed to see Sikhs never questioned it.
I am ashamed to see hindus killing over thousnads of sikhs after gandhis death. Amazed to see hindus never questioned it
Let's go chronologically,you say that bhindravala defiled the holy golden temple in 1984 June ,we will also say our part. If you will advocate and support the wrongs done by your men, then why can't others.
Big Salute! to you Sir. Your courage and integrity is commendable. Amazed at the details you were able to recall.
He was a coward general who at the time of the assault in early June 1984 laughed off any talk of resistance from the Sikhs when he was told by intelligence that there would a be devastating battle to the end. All his strategies one after another brought him nothing. Instead his troops indulged in mass human rights violations. If Indians believe in their state narratives without question than they have limited integrity.
We are very very proud of you sir. Once a soldier always a soldier. At the age of 79 he fought 4 khalistanis incredible. We salute you sir🙏🙏🙏🙏
Hats off to the General and ethos of Indian army . Very interesting narration of the events of 1971 ops.❤
Attached on sovereign country that’s we called bad neighbor Hindus is a criminal tribe
Hanuman fire on neighbors country that’s your history
Once a soldier always a soldier... Salute to you.
He is a soldier... He did what we expect from a soldier..... Bhinderawala was using the sikhi to fulfilled his aspirations.... Politicians did what they always have done.....
But i want to say that as a sanatani hindu i respect my sikh guru and has full faith in guru granth sahab..... Pakistan trying to divide us but they can't done it ultimately.... Jai hind...
Totally agreed brother. One was jarnail bindrewala and another was real general subag singh. Loss was of general subeg singh and bindrawala was gutter chaap leader he created hate against hindus and many sikhs were part of him. That later on sins of indra gandhi and bindrawala got justice from mighty God.
The fight was not about divide and it was about anandpur revolution you must read on google
talk with a face of nationalist, cuz sanatani hindu you cant defend what they did to the crowd in premises on june 6,1984. women were raped in gurdwara langer hall. no arrest were made but even lot of post mortem reporthere were people that were killed from point blank range. people who saw the reports about attack rushed to gurdwara to find their loved ones who were there to seek blessing. they were also killed and that triggered unlawfull killing of the youth back then. no justice was served. culture was disrupted by vulgar singers and literature. you telll me why should we believe him the true butcher of their own blood.
@@gurmanjotsingh2755 blame game they were the khalistani who did all stuff and created terror amoung the people. The Indian Army cannot do this and in that time many sikhs soldiers were posted. Khalistani knows how to make propaganda. Sikh religion is a good religion but gurudwaras are used for politics. I know you will not agree with my view but now sikhism are in the hands of powerful leaders and khalistani and they by all means are forcing and diverting sikhs against hindus and india.
@@gurmanjotsingh2755 why u people exaggerate the incidence that actually had not happened.... Who raped women????
U should know what Obama had said about nuclear attack on Japan..... He said no regret...... In war like situation some decisions have to taken in the necessity of that time.... So it should nt be blamed later...
Very very heart touching. I salute u sir. U r a true soldier. True patriot. Always stood up for ur nation. Shame on these Khalistanis who want to break the nation. They just defame our brave soldiers n true Sikhs , the martyrs who sacrificed their lives for the solidarity of Nation. Salute u sir 🙏🏻🙏🏻
True patriot and a good army personnel
