	Babbar Khalsa - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Babbar Khalsa (Punjabi: ਬੱਬਰ ਖ਼ਾਲਸਾ, babbara ḵẖālasā) is a militant group considered to be among the oldest and most prominent of Sikh organisations calling for the formation of an independent Sikh state.
		The conception of Babbar Khalsa in its modern day form is widely believed to have been brought about as a result of the Nirankari-Akhand Kirtani Jatha clash on Vaisakhi in 1978, where thirteen Sikhs and three Nirankaris died.
		The schism greatly weakened the Babbar Khalsa, ultimately leading to the death of Sukhdev Singh Babbar (9 August 1992) and Talwinder Singh Parmar (15 October 1992).

	Khalsa Singhs (Tat Khalsa)
		Taking the initiation ceremony (amrit sanskar) to become part of the Khalsa Singh order of Guru Gobind Singh, led to the belief that the Guru and the Khalsa disciple (or baptised Sikh) are one, made equal in sharing the status of Guru and disciple.
		This was further developed into the idea that the Khalsa together as a Panth (community of followers) attained the status of Guru in important decisions for the community (as sangat/congregation was equated with the sabad/word and Akal Purakh in the early Sikh tradition).
		The inauguration of the Khalsa was a symbolic event: to transform sparrows into hawks, deer into lions, saints into soldiers.
