Watch 360 degree with Anjilee Istwal as we do a deep dive into the origins of the Khalistan movement. The Khalistan movement, or the Sikh separatist movement seeks to create an independent state, called Khalistan, for the Sikh community in Punjab. The movement emerged in the 1970s as a response to the growing perception of discrimination and marginalization of Sikhs in India. The roots of the Khalistan movement can be traced back to the Punjabi Suba movement launched by the Akali Dal in the 1950s and 60s, which aimed to create a separate Punjabi-speaking state within the Indian Union. #khalistan #amritpalsingh #punjabnews Subscribe to India Today for NEW VIDEOS EVERY DAY and make sure to enable Push Notifications so you'll never miss a new video.
