Hawayein is a 2003 Indian film, directed by Amitoj Mann who also stars in the film along with Babbu Mann and Mahi Gill. The film is based on the 1984 anti-Sikh riots and its aftermath. [4]
Hawayein is a film which emerges from the consequences of the Operation Blue Star and is based on the aftermath of India's Prime Minister, Indira Gandhi's assassination in 1984 – the 1984 anti-Sikh riots in Delhi and other places in India, and the subsequent victimization of the people of Punjab in the years that followed. This film depicts real life events and most of the situations shown are authentic seen through the eyes of the "Sarabjeet". It is the story of his journey from innocence to disillusionment, from being a simple, music loving student to becoming one of the most wanted militants in the country. This film is an honest exploration of the reasons which led to the angst of the youth of Punjab and the turmoils suffered by their families. [5]

The Insurgency in Punjab, India was an armed campaign by the militants of the Khalistan Movement from the mid-1980s to the mid-1990s. Economic and social pressures driven by the Green Revolution prompted calls for Sikh autonomy and separatism. This movement was initially peaceful, but foreign involvement and political pressures drove a heavy handed response from Indian authorities. The demand for a separate Sikh state gained momentum after the Indian Army's Operation Blue Star in 1984 aimed to flush out militants residing in the Golden Temple in Amritsar, a holy site for Sikhs. Terrorism, police brutality and corruption of the authorities greatly exacerbated a tense situation. By the mid-1980s, the movement had evolved into a militant secessionist crisis due to the perceived indifference of the Indian state in regards to mutual negotiations. Eventually, more effective police and military operations, combined with a policy of rapprochement by the Indian government and the election loss of separatist sympathizers in the 1992 Punjab Legislative Assembly election, largely quelled the rebellion by the mid-1990s.
