	Re: Guru Gobind singh ji & Khalistan??????
		Guru Gobind Singhji did not explicitly mention Khalistan anywhere because the message he and the other sikh gurus tried to convey to the people transcends man made boundries.
		Sajjan Singhji if Khalistan is the reaction to the oppression faced by the sikhs under Indian rule, then I would think that guruji would support its creation.
		But from speaking with the many Khalistani friends, it seems to me that most want a Khalistan where sikhs can live without fear of their life, liberty and property being violated and they are free to practice their religion.

	Beyond Khalistan? The Sikh Diaspora and the International Order (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Late twentieth century ethno-religious nationalist movements, including the Khalistan movement in the diaspora, are typically seen as ‘negative’ and ‘divisive,’ ‘reactions of weakness and fear, attempts to erect barricades to keep at bay the forces of the modern world.’ (Hobsbawn 1994:164).
		The Council of Khalistan, based in Washington, D.C., in particular is active in lobbying and developing links with sovereign states (the US) and in seeking to participate in international organizations having gained Non-Governmental Status at the United Nations in 1987 (Tatla 1999:180).
		Khalistan, literally meaning land of the pure, is the name given to an independent territorially defined sovereign Sikh state.

	Khalistan

		The idea of a nation-state called Khalistan is no longer prominent in India, but is supported by some Sikhs in other countries, notably the United States.
		Sociologically, the Khalistan movement could be interpreted as a consequence of the "Green Revolution" which transformed agriculture in Indian Punjab from a subsitence farming to an agricultural industry.

		In 1983, Khalistan terrorists took over the primary shrine of Sikhism: the Golden Temple in Amritsar, turning it into an armory and torture dungeon for kidnap victims including policemen, some of whom were then murdered [6].
		Khalistan proponents, with characteristic callousness, cite the damage to the temple buildings [2] as evidence of the Indian Government's atrocious intents towards Sikhism, conveniently ignoring the question of why they sacrileged their holiest shrine as a weapons cache and terrorist headquarters and machine-gunned law officers sent to bring them before the Law.
		Inderjit Singh Reyat, a member of the Babbar Khalsa group [14] of the Khalistan movement, was convicted, and sent to serve a 10-year term in Canadian jail for the murder of the Narita workers [14], [15].

	WWW.OPPRESSION.ORG / ASIA / INDIA / The Revival of Sikh Fundamentalism
		It is this fact—coupled with the potential outcomes of alternatives to revolution—that leads one to deduce that the use of terrorism increases the likelihood of the Sikh homeland, Khalistan.
		Although the use of terrorism appears cruel and altogether heartless, the alternatives have proved ineffective; one might reasonably argue that it is only fitting for the Indian populous to be punished with the same hatred that they have so fervently embraced in the past.
		Emotional tangents aside, the only practical and potentially effective strategy for the establishment of Khalistan is an offensive targeted at the state that has propagated the inequality of the past—any other course of action, however noble it may be, would be in vain.

		No one in Khalistan will die out of hunger because if Punjab can provide food for 90% of the Indian population then it surely can provide food for everyone in Khalistan because the population in Khalistan will be a lot less than Indian population.

		Let us commit ourselves in the 300th anniversary of the Khalsa Panth to making sure that no divide-and-rule strategy either from the Akalis, their BJP masters or Congress will be able to keep the Khalsa Panth from transforming Punjab into the secular, pluralist, and fully independent democracy it should have become 50 years ago.

		Apparently, various offers were made to the Sikh community by elements in the subcontinent and by the British government itself regarding the setting up of an autonomous Sikh state, 'comprising areas lying in the west of Panipat and east of the left bank of the Ravi river'.
		If the notion of Khalistan were birthed in adherence to the conditions stated above, then Khalistan would occupy the area in between the Ravi and Yamuna rivers, possibly extending to the seashore; Jarig Bakker is right in stating that Khalistan would consist of the 'present state of Punjab and the adjoining Punjabi speaking areas'.
