Question

Where was started the Khalistan movement?

Answer 1

The Khalistan movement, which aimed to create an independent Sikh state, began in Punjab in the 1980s. The movement’s roots can be traced back to the demands of the Akali Dal, particularly in the form of the Anandpur Saheb Resolution of 1973. This resolution called for greater autonomy for Punjab, including the transfer of Chandigarh and Punjabi-speaking areas to Punjab, decentralization of power, land reforms, and other socio-political changes.
