Detailed explanation-1: -After twenty-six years in the R&AW, G.B.S. Sidhu retired as special secretary in the R&AW in 1998. His book Sikkim: Dawn of Democracy (2018) talks about his role in the state’s 1975 merger with India, when he was head of the R&AW station at Gangtok.
Detailed explanation-2: -Simranjit Singh Mann, elected in 2022 from Sangrur, is currently the only openly Khalistani MP in the Indian Parliament and his party, Shiromani Akali Dal (Amritsar), is currently the only pro-Khalistan party in the Indian parliament.
Detailed explanation-3: -“The idea of Khalistan gaining currency was more a result of the Operation Blue Star and November 1984 massacre of Sikhs in Delhi and other places in the country, ” he adds.
Detailed explanation-4: -The roots of Khalistan lie in the British colonial policies of the late 1800s and early 1900s that sought to divide Sikhs and Hindus. Sikhs were recruited into the British army in large numbers to use against Hindu rulers that rebelled against the British Raj.
