Indira Gandhi did not direct the killingof Sikhs.
She directed Operation Blue Star, a military operation aiming at removing Sikh militants stockpiling weapons in the Harmandir Sahib Complex (Golden Temple) and capturing Bhindranwale, the leader of an extremist outfit. He and hundreds of his followers were holed upin the sacred temple.
So the then-Prime Minister, Smt. Indira Gandhi, known for her boldness, directed a military operation to remove the radicals. The operation costs around 100 lives.
I believe it was an executive decision that had to be made.
