This general atmosphere is reflected in SATP's South Asia Conflict Maps for 2003 and 2004, which do not include Punjab state as an area of "conflict" (SATP n.d.c.; ibid. n.d.d.). Similarly, according to a 2003 article by a research associate with the Institute for Conflict Management (ICM) in New Delhi, India, which is "committed to the continuous evaluation and resolution of problems of internal security in South Asia" (ICM n.d.a), anti-Sikh violence in Punjab state had been "settled" (IPCS 24 June 2003). Les Nouveaux Mondes rebelles, on the other hand, reported in 2005 that the Punjab state independence conflict was "on its way to being resolved" [translation] (2005, 358). In articles focusing on the security situation in India for the time period 2002 to 2005, Jane's Intelligence Review (JIR) does not mention Punjab state. Rather, JIR articles focus on the activities of Maoist groups in northeastern and southeastern states of India, with no reference to militant groups in Punjab state (JIR Nov.

C. Christine Fair, Kerry Ashkenaze and Scott Batchelder Edmund A. Walsh School of Foreign Service, Georgetown University, Washington, DC, USA ABSTRACT Between 1978 and 1992, Sikh militants rampaged across the northern Indian state of the Punjab demanding that a homeland for Sikhs, called Khalistan, be carved from that state. The so-called Khalistanis, with Pakistan’s extensive support, waged a brutal campaign of violence that killed tens of thousands. While Indian security forces eviscerated the various Khalistani groups by 1992, support for the movement remained strong in pockets of the global Sikh diaspora. Pakistan’s intelligence agency, the ISI, also worked to keep the move­ ment alive wherever possible. Pakistan’s efforts have paid off: in recent years, the Khalistan movement has rehabilitated itself even within India. We con­ structed a novel dataset of Khalistani terror incidents perpetrated in the last decade.

  • India – Researched and Compiled by the Refugee Documentation Centre of Ireland on 24 August 2012
    India – Researched and compiled by the Refugee Documentation Centre of Ireland on 24 August 2012 Information on a group called Babar Khalsh: their history, aims, objectives and whether the group is political, religious, or criminal. Treatment of Babar Khalsh members by the government or society. A terrorist organisation profile published by the US government affiliated National Consortium for the Study of Terrorism and Responses to Terrorism (START), in a paragraph headed “Founding Philosophy”, refers to a group called Babbar Khalsa International as follows: “Babbar Khalsa International (BKI) is an organization of Sikh separatists associated with a wave of assassinations and terrorist attacks in the 1980s. The group's primary goal is the establishment of an independent Sikh country of unspecified size in northwestern India. Group statements and media sources usually refer to this proposed state as ‘Khalistan.’” (National Consortium for the Study of Terrorism and Responses to Terrorism (START) (undated) Terrorist Organization Profile: Babbar Khalsa International (BKI)) A paragraph headed “Current Goals” states: “Babbar Khalsa seeks a sovereign state for Sikhs carved out of northern India. Punjab province and surrounding majority Sikh regions will serve as the basis for this state, but BKI does not articulate precise plans for the geographical, political, economic, or religious characteristics of its desired Khalistan.” (ibid) A country advice document published by the Australian Government – Refugee Review Tribunal, in a paragraph headed “Overview of the Babbar Khalsa International”, states: “The Babbar Khalsa International (BKI) is a Sikh separatist paramilitary group which has existed since the early 1980s. The BKI, like other Sikh militant groups, advocates an independent state for Sikhs, to be known as Khalistan.

  • Nderstanding the Religious Nature of Terrorism in India: Four Case Studies with an Analysis for Proposals and Resolution
    UNDERSTANDING THE RELIGIOUS NATURE OF TERRORISM IN INDIA: FOUR CASE STUDIES WITH AN ANALYSIS FOR PROPOSALS AND RESOLUTION BY KAILASH KUMAR CHATRY A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of Theology and Religion School of Historical Studies College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham 17 October 2012.

ABSTRACT India has faced the challenge of religious terrorism for almost three decades. This phenomenon – in-spite of the Indian government’s comprehensive effort to contain it – has been spreading its vicious influence and expanding its support base among the conflicting religious communities in many parts of the country. The existing views, in regard to the rise of religious terrorism, suggest that economic, socio-political or geo-political issues (that cropped up during the post-partition period) are responsible for the birth of the problem. However, so far no study is done collectively on the four (Sikh, Kashmiri Muslim, Hindu and Naga Christian) religious communities to explain the cause of the problem.

  • THE GLOBALIZATION of IDENTITY POLITICS : the SIKH EXPERIENCE1 Laurent GAYER2 England Has Always Been a Breeding Ground for Our R
    THE GLOBALIZATION OF IDENTITY POLITICS : THE SIKH EXPERIENCE1 Laurent GAYER2 England has always been a breeding ground for our revolutionists (…) What would Pandit Nehru have been without Harrow ? Or Ghandiji without his formative experiences here ? Even the Pakistan idea was dreamt up by young radicals at college in what we then were asked to think of as the Mother Country. Now that England’s status has declined, I suppose it is logical that the quality of the revolutionists she breeds has likewise fallen. The Kashmiris ! Not a hope in hell. And as for these Khalistan types, let them not think that their evil deed has brought their dream a day closer. Salman Rushdie, “Chekov and Zulu”, in East, West3. 1 This paper is the result of a field work of two weeks in the UK (Southall and London) and one month in Canada (Toronto, Ottawa and Vancouver), during which I interviewed extensively thirty individuals. The two thirds of my interlocutors were political activists involved in the Khalistan Council, the Khalistan Commando Force (KCF), the Dal Khalsa, the World Sikh Organization (WSO) and the International Sikh Youth Federation (ISYF). My other interviewees were involved in anti-racist groups (Southall Monitoring Group), community newspapers (Desh Pardesh in Southall, Punjabi Times in Surrey, B.C.), religious organizations (the Khalsa Diwan Society, managing the prestigious Ross Street gurdwara in Vancouver; the Sikh Missionary Society and the Trust in charge of the Sri Guru Singh Sabha Gurdwara, in Southall) and youth groups (Ontario Sikh Students Association, in Mississauga, Ontario). I also interviewed the most popular Sikh lawyer of Canada (Palbinder Kaur Shergill) and three young Sikh students who had just taken part in a charity bike ride from Birmingham to London.
