Why the rise of Sikh separatism in the United States needs to be flagged harder
[OneIndia] The Indian security agencies have repeatedly stated that the Khalistan Death Eaters backed by the ISI would look to make a comeback. While the terror modules within the country are largely under control, the worry is the rise of Sikh separatism.

For several years now, groups backing the Khalistan movement have operated in the United States, Canada and London. The Sikhs for Justice in particular is a notorious outfit led by proscribed terrorist, Gurpatwant Singh Pannun. He was declared as an individual terrorist under the UAPA from promoting secessionism and encouraging Sikh youth to take up arms.

In the backdrop of the same, a leading think-tank in the United States said that the US cannot allow separatist movements from India, including those with ties to murderous Moslem and terrorist groups, to grow unchecked among its otherwise law-abiding Sikh community. The report published by the Hudson Institute is titled, "Pakistain's Destabilisation Playbook: Khalistani Activism in the US." The report has been jointly authored by leading experts, Husain Haqqani, Christine Fair, Aparna Pande, Sam Westrop, Seth Oldmixon and Michael Rubin.

#2 The Kashmir independence movement is a wholly owned subsidiary of Pakistan’s ISI, rjschwarz.

#3 I added a Related search for the term Khalistan, which yielded
the following edifying auto-translation for Khalistan Liberation Force:

...Khalistan is the idea of an independent Sikh homeland in the Indian (and Pak, but they don't dwell on that) Punjab. The local troublemakers are financed by the Sikh diaspora, who love the idea of the folks they left behind murdering their neighbours before dying romantically for a hopeless idea, with training and additional funding from Pakistain’s ISI as yet another arrow in their quiver aimed at the Indian throat. The Khalistan Liberation Force, like Antifa, is the umbrella for a bunch of Sikh groups that have engaged in armed struggle® against India since the 1980s...

#4 Kashmir originally belonged to the Hindu Pandits, some portion of whose working class were Moslem, so the identity issues are unrelated to Sikh independence.
