Khalistan is basically the homeland of the Sikh nation. Khalistan simply means the “land of the pure.” Since the fall of the Sikh Empire in 1849, Sikhs have been fighting for their sovereignty and their land that they lost. Sikhs have been enslaved since even though they made the most sacrifices in the World Wars and the Independence of India. The Idea of Khalistan was introduced y Dr. Jagjit Singh Chauhan but came into spot light during the fight for fundamental rights in Punjab lead by Sant Jarnail Singh Khalsa Bhindranwale. Sant Bhindranwale didn’t fight for Khalistan but said that, “if the government wants to give us Khalistan we won’t refuse as we did in 1947.” When the golden temple got attacked in 1984, Sant Bhindranwale declared that the foundation of Khalistan has been made. At the Sarbat Khalsa of 1986, Khalistan was officially declared and was made the aim of the Sikhs. Since then Sikhs have been fighting for their homeland and hope they can get free from the shackles of slavery.
