What is Khalistan, the individual homeland some Sikhs yearn for?

.WHEN INDIA obtained freedom from Britain in 1947, few outside the country strongly believed that a union of such unique states might keep together. India has actually endured– however not without dangers to its own uniformity. Among one of the most enduring has actually been actually the Khalistan activity, which looks for to establish an individual homeland for Sikhs.

On September 18th Canada’s head of state, Justin Trudeau, alleged that Indian government agents were behind the murder, in June, of Hardeep Singh Nijjar, a Canadian Sikh leader that supported independence for Khalistan. India’s authorities, which denies any sort of engagement, has actually indicted Canada of harbouring “revolutionaries and separationists”. How severe is actually the Khalistan action?
