The insurgency in Punjab from 1981 to 1995 was primarily caused by disputes between Punjabi Sikhs and the central government of India.
Tensions escalated throughout the early 1980s, leading to widespread unrest.
The situation reached a critical point with Operation Blue Star in 1984, which targeted the Sikh community, and the assassination of Prime Minister Indira Gandhi by her Sikh bodyguards.
The subsequent decade was marked by inter-communal violence and accusations of genocide.
