Explanation

Air India Flight 182, named 'Kanishka,' was bombed on June 23, 1985, killing all 326 passengers and crew. The bomb exploded off the coast of Ireland about 30 minutes before landing. This terrorist attack was carried out by Sikh separatists in retaliation for Operation Bluestar. Maurya, Rashtrakuta, Ashoka, Pratihara, and Pallava were all ancient Indian dynasties, not flight names.
