• Operation Blue Star: Indian Army Attacks Golden Temple On June 6, 1984, the Indian Army launched a military operation against Sikh militants occupying the Golden Temple in Amritsar, under direct orders from Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. The operation was a significant and controversial moment in modern Indian history, aimed at neutralizing Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale and his armed followers who had transformed the holy shrine into a militant stronghold. Official government records report 576 combatants killed and 335 wounded, while independent observers suggest the total casualties, including unarmed civilians, could be as high as 6,000. The attack deeply traumatized the Sikh community and had long-lasting political and social repercussions.
• Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale: Sikh Militant Leader Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale (1947-1984) was a prominent Sikh religious leader and militant who became a central figure in the Sikh separatist movement in Punjab during the early 1980s. He advocated for greater autonomy for Punjab and the creation of a separate Sikh state, Khalistan. His radical stance and occupation of the Golden Temple ultimately led to the Indian government's military intervention.

Originally developed on an Electronika 60 computer, Tetris would later be ported to multiple platforms and become a global phenomenon.
