Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.

Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

The fundamental information that questions is how a servant who grew
in Stratford's illiterate family could write works as brilliant as Romeo and Juliet
or The Merchant of Venice.
The works of Shakespeare include topics as the war, the death, and the
love, giving him often a double meaning, probably for connotations of events
that happened in the plane of current importance or politics of the epoch.

Finally, it’s interesting to comment a common mistake to think that he
died on April 23, 1616, the same day that he was born. Also it is a popular belief
that died the same day that Cervantes.
Our Royal Decree 307/1993 and the resolution of the General Conference
of the UNESCO, maximum international organization in the field of the culture
and the education, of November 15, 1995 declared on April 23 World Day of the
Book and of the Author's copyright.
In the text of the declaration there is specified that is chosen on April 23
for coincide in this date of the year 1616 death of Cervantes and William
Shakespeare, maximum exponents of the literature with Spanish and English
language.
Apparently, the mistake of thinking that they died the same day is
because in Spain already the correction of the calendar was applied established
in 1582 by the Dad Gregorio XIII, while in England juliano was continuing in
force the former calendar, slowed down then in near eleven days I concern of
the real time.
According to the correct calendar, Shakespire did not die on April 23; Die
on May 3, 1616, ten days after Cervantes. Really Cervantes did not die on the
23rd either; he died on the 22nd and was buried the following day.
