Will Khalistan ever get its independence?

[nextover666666]

This is a genuine question is the movement on the rise again or not is their a possibility they will became a nation will our Sikh brothers ever get their own nation I for one will welcome Khalistan with open arms

[Syed1]

Local Sikhs do not want it as much as people of Occupied Kashmir otherwise you would have Indian army committing rape and murder at a mass scale in Indian Punjab as well

I can be wrong but it seems like it's more Sikhs abroad that are pushing for the movement

But the supporters of Khalistan want Lahore as well. So i don't how to think about this.

Yeah mostly the ones in Canada are biggest proponent of it, the movement has essentially died down in India. However, with terrorist Hindu nationalist Modi at the helm anything can happen.

From what I see, Khalistan (or the voices demanding it) is in exact similar status as voices shouting for Tamil Eelam in Sri Lanka. Basically a minority bunch of expatriates who are totally out of touch with ground reality. If any of you bother to take your "I'm anti on everything regarding India/America" lens and compare both situations as apples-apples, you will see the similarity.

Their was genocide in Sri Lanka Agaisnt the Tamil people I don't think it's a minority that wants jnpendence I would think it's a good amount of people that would want the independence of Tamil Eelam

Yup, you are correct. I was alluding to the fact that if anything even Tamil Eelam has a stronger case compared to Khalistan at this point of time.

[JaDed]

Cant wait for it honestly, Brampton is amazingly well populated by Sikhs and has all the proponents for it, good educated Sikhs and the gangsta ones as well, ideally I would prefer it in UK, as that is where they took out the currency after the everyday drink but looks like.that boat has passed, hopefully Bradford along with Southall can hopefully someday declare independence.

The first act of Khalistan in book would be bombing of AI flight ,the freedom fighters killed cruel Canadians and Indians for.their struggle in Brampton.

Kuch rahe na rahe Raj karega Khalsa.

[PakLFC]

Yes it will but they can forget about Lahore that is 100% Muslim now. Khalistan can only be formed where Sikh's are the majority that is in Indian Punjab.

[rhony]

Naa. It had died down. I know a couple of sikh homies myself who collected money for the "cause" from a few older sikh gentlemen and had a good time in Vegas for a week.

[Slog]

its dead in india it seems

but its alive and well in North america though. I have a few facebook friends who share sth or the other everyday and by their posts you would think sikhs are under siege in india

[boomboomcheema]

Lets be honest, Sikhs are a very prosperous community in India and have a huge representation in the Indian Armed Forces.

[TSA321]

I’ve heard the percentage of Sikhs in Indian Punjab gets lower every year due to a mixture of female infanticide, low fertility and immigration outwards. So really the chance of it happening gradually gets lower over time.

[Junaid_ahmed]

Not going to happen, could have been separated in 80s but not going to happen now & in near future.

Actually india handle the situation very well after that genocide blunder. They used the punjabi nature of Sikhs by overhyping them as they knew that, when hyped Punjabis used to be most devoted peoples. Their media i-e bollywood, TV, drama and etc started to add more pubjabi culture unnecessarily, just to show the sikh community that how much rest of india love them. Unlike Pakistan where the media hardly show the culture & traditions of isolated Baluchistan.

India also knows that any separation will led to 10 ther separations (same the case in Pakistan too).

International powers also don't want India to break in many small countries as it is convenient do their business transactions on one window.

[the Great Khan]

Khalistan would be a nightmare for Pakistan. Many of the Sikh holy sites are in pakistan. Who's to say they wont demand those as well??

[Greenstorm]

Sikhs had their chance but they were too busy killing migrating Muslims. Now they will have to live as minority forever.

[troodon]

Why would a community demand for a separate country if they are doing very well under the current state of India?

I have seen many Sikhs marrying Hindu girls. I wonder how that would workout when they demand for a separate country.

There can be no Khalistan unless the rest of India is broken in to pieces.

This was always an expat movement and their money fuelled the movement in India. Those expats are now 70+ with cash in retirement accounts. The young sikhs are westernized and don't care about Khalistan.

You know, first I laughed at your post as I thought it was funny. The more I think about it, You seem to make a lot of sense

[moghul]

As Pakistani, I don;t want any trouble at our eastern border and won;t support or wish Khalistan movement to be active again, I think its dead and buried now.

[junoon]

It is said in Urdu "Sikh karnay kay baad sochta hai kya karna chahiye thaa"

If sikhs wanted Khalistan, then they should have made this demand to the British in 1947. But no they decided to cast their lot with the treacherous hindus, and were busy slaughtering innocent muslims in 1947.

They have missed the train now and will never get Khalistan. Right now sikhs are barely around 60% of Punjab's population but i once read on a sikh forum that they are on the way to becoming a minority in Punjab as well in another 2 decades because of outward migration of sikhs, and also hindus and muslims from other states of India moving to Punjab in large numbers

[Bhaijaan]

The Khalistan movement died down as the resident sikhs of Indian Punjab could not buy into the agenda. As a community sikhs are among the wealthiest and most respected in India.

You have to give a lot of credit to their overall attitude towards life. It is quite amazing and progressive.

The 1984 riots remain an incident that hurts sikhs deep in their heart but not enough to demand independence as apart from being a very proud and brave community they are very wise as well. They realize that they have with their hardwork achieved positions of leadership and great power all over India. Instead of giving all that up for a small land, they are fully of enforcing social and political reforms in India and thats what they have been doing.

Sikhs lead the way. They do not give up and run away.

Sikhs realize that all of India belongs to them.

[Adijazz1706]

No chances of this happening, even Punjab has Sikhs only 50-60% of the ppopulation and going downwards. They'll forever be a minority now

[Bhaijaan]

From my experiences, most sikhs hardly care about that. They are a very inclusive community. In Punjab also its not that they will bully people if in any part of it they are in overwhelming majority. Sikhs are very supportivr and protective of communities.

We should all learn from them.

Also Parasi community is quite phenomenal. They are few but wherever they are in India they are doing great and holding great positions.

For some reasons its just the hindus and muslims who don't get along. We will have to understand why and correct that.

[Swashbuckler]

No. Sikhs are very loyal, well off and hold important power positions. All the noise comes from outside. Besides they are largely spread out in the country, and they totally gel with locals.

Pro-Khalistan leader's murder in Pak: Harmeet Singh killed by lover’s relatives

he mystery over murder of Khalistan Liberation Force (KLF) leader, Harmeet Singh alias Happy has become murkier as intelligence sources now state that Happy was murdered over an alleged illicit affair with a married Muslim woman from Pakistan.

According to sources, Harmeet Singh was having an affair with a Pakistani woman from some time and did not pay heed to warnings from the family members of his paramour after their relation became an 'open secret'.

A scuffle had also broken out between the deceased and family members of his lover three weeks prior to the murder. Harmeet was warned against meeting the woman again. However, owing to the reluctance of the two to step back from the alleged affair, the woman's family member attacked him on the night of January 27, when Harpeet was killed.

"Earlier it was believed that Happy was killed in a gang war over drug money. He might have been killed over an illicit affair. The woman was a close relative of a Pakistani drug lord. He used to visit the family regularly and later developed intimate relations with the woman. Woman's family knew about their affair and had asked him to maintain a distance from the woman" a reliable source told India Today.

Happy was shot dead on Monday evening outside Dera Chahal Gurudwara on the outskirts of Lahore by unidentified persons. Sources privy to the information said the attackers were the family members of Happy's lover.

Interestingly, the Lahore Police did not register a formal FIR and discreetly cremated Harmeet Singh on Wednesday evening at Babu Sabu Chowk cremation ground in the presence of a senior police officer. Some local Gurudwara representatives were also present during the cremation.

Happy's parents including father Avtar Singh and mother Khushbir Kaur-who live in Chheharta area of Amritsar, had demanded for his body to perform the last rites but the Pakistan authorities remained silent.

Happy had also adopted a pseudo name, 'Bhupinder Singh' to fake his real identity.

Investigations have also revealed that Happy was close to his ISI bosses and was present with Pakistani officials during the inauguration of the Kartarpur corridor in November 2019.

Happy alias PHD was wanted in 17 criminal cases including smuggling of drugs,arms, terror funding, and conspiring against India. All these cases were registered in Punjab. His name stood among top 15 most wanted Khalistani terrorists according to a dossier submitted by the Indian authorities to the Pakistan.

Happy was the mastermind behind the targeted killings of Hindu right wing and RSS leaders including Jagdish Kumar Gagneja, the then Vice President of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh for Punjab in 2016-2017. Interpol had also issued a Red Corner notice against happy in 2018.

Senior Punjab Police officials said that Happy was also running a terror funding network besides smuggling racket through a Dubai best smuggler Jasmeet Singh Hakeemzada, who has been named as the kingpin of the most significant narcotic trafficking networks in the world by the US department of Treasury.

He had also hatched a plan to kill jailed Dera Saccha Sauda Chief Gurmeet Ram Rahim in 2008.

Harmeet Singh alias Happy PHD was one of the most educated Khalistani terrorist who once worked as a Junior Research Fellow in religious studies at Guru Nanak Dev University, Amritsar in 2008. He was pursuing PhD course from this university and was also getting a stipend of Rs 12000 every month.

I can be wrong but it seems like it's more Sikhs abroad that are pushing for the movement

I have been watching some of the India-NZ games and the U19 games. Sikhs in the crowd always cheer for India enthusiastically. Also, I looked at some Benson and Hedges WC games from 1985 (the height of the Khalistan movement), and there too Sikhs in Australia were cheering for India.

I don't think anti-India feeling is widespread in expat Sikhs. I know for certain it is not common in Sikhs in India, I have a whole bunch of very close Sikh friends from my Delhi days.

So the answer to your question is no, the Sikhs will never break away from India to form Khalistan.

[Technics 1210]

India is ripe for carving thanks to RSS/Hinutva/Modi

[Mamoon]

Neither Khalistan nor J&K will gain independence. We have lived in delusion for 73 years and it is time to for us finally wake up and leave Khalistan and Kashmir to fend for themselves.

After 73 years of failure, it is time to reassess our foreign policy. Kartarpur is our meek attempt to boost the Khalistan movement but like all our attempts in the last 73 years to liberate Kashmir, it will fail.

Possibly because those guys migrated decades ago, at the peak of the Khalistan movement.

One of my closest friends from grad school is an Indian Sikh. Recollect a discussion with him on the Khalistanis - he had said that the younger generation seems to be well integrated with India. The older generation who lived through militancy had some reservations but they too had given up completely on the idea of Khalistan with many in plush government jobs. Seemed to think that the Sikhs in Canada were stuck in a time warp.

Personally I feel even that is fantasy, I think India will eventually just become a brown country loosely based on western values and caste discrimination. If there is secession it will probably be south splitting from north into smaller states.

[MenInG]

The Centre on Sunday blocked 40 websites linked to pro-Khalistan gourp Sikhs for Justice (SFJ) for ‘a campaign for registering supporters for its cause’.

“Sikhs For Justice(SFJ), an unlawful organization under the UAPA, 1967, launched a campaign for registering supporters for its cause. On recommendations of MHA, MeitY, has issued orders under sec 69A of the I.T. Act, 2000, for blocking 40 websites of SFJ”, an home ministry order said.

The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) is the nodal authority for monitoring the cyber space in India.

Last year, the home ministry had banned the SFJ for its alleged anti-national activities, according to news agency PTI.

The SFJ pushed for Sikh Referendum 2020 as part of its separatist agenda. The US-based organisation had declared July 4 as the inaugural day for registration of referendum on Khalistan.

Earlier this week, the Centre had declared nine Khalistani terrorists, including SFJ’s Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, who has been spearheading a campaign under the banner of “Referendum 2020” for a separate Khalistani state, as ‘individual terrorists’ under recently amended fourth schedule of UAPA (Unlawful Activities Prevention Amendment Act).

Others designated as individual terrorists under UAPA are Babbar Khalsa International’s UK chief Paramijit Singh, Canada-based head of Khalistan Tiger Force (KTF) Hardeep Singh Nijjar, Germany-based members of Khalistan Zindabad Force (KZF) Gurmeet Singh Bagga and Bhupinder Singh Bhinda, and Pakistan-based terrorists – head of BKI Wadhawa Singh, Lakhbir Singh (International Sikh Youth Federation), Ranjeet Singh (Khalistan Zindabad Force) and Paramjit Singh (Khalistan Commando Force).

khalistan would be in a very tenuous position as an independent nation, it would be completely dependent on Pakistan and bhutto bibi and aitzaz sold out the sikhs khalistanis once before, so i doubt they would want an independent country totally reliant on a pakisan they dont trust rather then to not have a country and have open access to the indian market.

furthermore the splitting of himachal and haryana from historic eastern punjab means khalistan, even if it became a reality would fail to serve the purpose of cutting off kashmir from india. so even in that regard there seems little to gain for pakistan.

theres lots of other minutiae which make khalistan untenable, but its not wroth going into given how far from reality the idea is.

They passed a law against Kashmiri Muslims, sent a million soldiers in the region, cut their internet and, of course, blamed everything on Pakistan.

The Logical Indian Take

Delay in producing the farmer suicide data and not paying much attention to the farmers’ crisis during the election campaigning certainly raises a question about the government’s attitude to address agrarian distress. Farmers have been demanding MSP as per inflation and economic growth for the past five years. The government did increase the MSP in December last year and the central government just before the 2019 Lok Sabha polls came up with the PM Kisan Support Scheme. But experts say that mere increase in MSP is just a partial solution and market reforms can only solve the agrarian crisis.

Don't think it will happen even in the next two decades. Everyone wants to have a pie of govt subsidy, even if undeserved.

Air India employees get free travel after retirement, and not just them, but their families. And Air India is a loss making company kept alive by taxpayer money, which is being spent on the free travel of its ex employees and their family. The rot is everywhere. Haramkhori has become our trait.

Didnt know about IT companies, I guess the bias in me tells that atleast they create jobs, Air India there were rumors that their employees wanted to buy?

I know the bigger picture, but of all the things BJP has done wrong the one thing which is somewhat in right direction if implemented well is getting most opposed is just awful to say.

This only means one thing India would always have some sort of socialist- subsidy wanting citizens.

I guess the core can take forever to change.

Also sometime this year or previous year, it was decided that the sanitation workers in chandigarh be given free gps enabled watches, so that their location can be monitored. The workers went on strike saying that the watch causes vomiting and irritation of skin, and demanded it to be removed. The municipalities have 100s of sanitation workers, but the cities are still unclean. The reason is they don't work and started protesting when their work was going to be monitored. Just one of those indian things.
