What is the Khalistan movement?

The Khalistan movement advocates for an independent homeland for Sikhs in India’s Punjab region. While the idea of Khalistan has been around for a while, it made headlines in 2023 due to the alleged assassination of Hardeep Singh Nijjar, a prominent Canadian Sikh leader and Khalistan advocate. This incident led to a diplomatic tiff between Canada and India, with ambassadors expelled. Canada’s Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, even suggested there was “>credible evidence”> of India’s involvement in the assassination.
