Cannot be based on secular egalitarian or idealistic principles because of the very obvious nature of being a state based on a religious fundamentalist concept. So I have removed those term for obvious reasons.
Included - Yet it remains unclear if Muslims, Christians or Hindus would be allowed freedom of expression of faith in a 'Sikh' based state. Khalistan has limited support from Sikhs in North America, Australia and UK. Previous supporters included congressman Dan Burton.
Everybody knows that Indira Gandhi and her son Sanjay started the trouble in the Punjab in revenge for the Akalis helping the opposition parties bring her down in the Emergency. The BJP have written about this at length and even the Indian Police officers say that guns were supplied by them. Only in South America or Cambodia has a country killed so many of its citizens more than India. Sikhs and non Sikhs will continue to raise the issues of intolerance in India against minorities no matter how worked up you get about it.

Investigate and Prosecute Perpetrators of ‘Disappearances’ and Killings
Human Rights Watch Report
(Delhi, October 18, 2007) – The Indian government must take concrete steps to hold accountable members of its security forces who killed, “disappeared,” and tortured thousands of Sikhs during its counterinsurgency campaign in the Punjab, Human Rights Watch and Ensaaf said in a new report released today.
Response:
If you were not around at the time please either stop fabricating things or listing articles based solely on propaganda, please present the facts.
Response;
So you call Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch 'fabricating evidence', even the Indian Media use them as a source of information. These organisations are respected worldwide, obviously the truth hurts.There will be justice for the Sikh killed.
Response from third member;
Do we even have to show facts? India didn't allow any news reporters in India during this time, isn't that enough? Fabricating evidence? There are enough evidence of personal eye-witness stories of older women in India stating how there daughter got raped or there husband was burned with a tire around there neck. As for propoganda, India is an embarrassement, stating that "Hindus were scared that Sikhs might hurt them in response". India is a joke of a nation, they need a political change as soon as possible.
Response from fourth member; Dear Friend, In india there are 87 crore hindus today..81% of total population. So we dont need to be scared by any minority. Sikhs r only 2% of total population..y we scared from them? please advice me. Other thing, in 84 5000 sikhs were killed..and there were hindus who saved a lots of sikhs..if they wont at that time..u will find 10000 more dead bodies in delhi only..so before telling hindus think wat u r saying..hindus r those who saved life of sikhs...Because India is democracy..u can start khalistan movement ..becoz india is secular u can tell india joke..try to do it in pakistan or china..next second u will be killed by the dictactor..so respect wat u got..India is for all..Hindus r very nice ..otherwise u wont find urself alive in India. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.106.1.34 ( talk) 15:50, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
Here you will see footage of the BBC report of Khalisthan Religious violence
You can't spell. Why have you missed out the Indians killing Sikhs in 1984?
Because the violence began with religious sikh fanatics killing innocent women and children who were non-sikh, and i stress again the word 'began'
What about your fanatics they stated killing minorities from 1947 and are still doing it Gujarat 2003 , aoydhya etc ,1978, 1984 attacks on Sikhs are examples, attacks on Sikhs started then even though they had saved thousands of hindus during partition and before. During non violent demonstations in the 60's even Sikh children were killed by a communal police force, so learn some history before coming out with rubbish. Again in the Pakistan wars and China it was the Sikhs the Indian Government begged for help when your own soldiers ran away.You lot would have starved to death if it was not for the wheat from the Punjab —Preceding unsigned comment added by Singhls ( talk • contribs) 06:42, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
Wheat?? Hell, who needs wheat, India can buy wheat from Pakistan or USA if it wants to.

I don't know if you realize what you just said. At least be thankful Sikhs get jobs? Most Sikhs in India are farmers, a job that doesn't require the government. And how will you buy agricultural products from Pakistan if they get their supplies from Punjab. As for government posts-Sikhs are 20% of the Indian army but only 1.9% of the population. Maybe you should be more thankful. and how can you say jatts will be committing suicide for lack of jobs, Punjab has the lowest poverty rate in India. By the way your post is littered with random capitalization and it seems you simply ignored wikipedia's spell check function for good measure.

Dear Lovepreet Singh,
I admire your enthusiam for Punjab and Sikhism.
I note you were born in 1994. You have not lived through the times being described, and have heard/read about them through mainly sources with a specific perspective.
I urge you to study the Gurbani directly, in Punjabi, if possible. Also I urge you to find and read newspapers, from Punjab and around the world, published during the time these events took place. I am confident that you will agree with me and some of the others.
Wikipedia articles should be unbiased and not based on personal views.
However let me say something to you personally. Sikhism is a religion of brotherhood and accomodation. When Guru Arjun Dev compiled the Adi Granth, he included works of many non-Sikhs ( Sikh Bhagats). Punjab has always been mixed, and Punjabis have traditionally respected each other. Lovepreet, a lot of innocent blood has ben shed in Punjab. Brotherhood has returned to Punjab. Please let it flourish.
I request you not to remove well documented facts from the article.-- ISKapoor ( talk) 00:14, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
Dear I.S. Kapoor,
I may have no been born then, but I have come to know about everything with the help of some sites like saintsoldiers.net, neverforget84.com etc. And I think you don't know that more than a million Sikhs were killed, raped by Fanatical Hindus etc. And NONE has been brought to justice till date. And those killings of innocent Hindus were done by Black Cats aka Alam Sena. These were criminals recruited by the government and police officers, as SPO's (special police officers).. There job was mainly to lessen the big amount of support for Khalistan. And they succied. What they did was looting innocents, killing Hindus in busses, extortion, rape, looting weddings, etc. One of the latest examples of how Sikhs are 2nd class is the killing of 38 Sikhs in Chattisinghpora. I will support Khalistan till I live. Sunnybondsinghjalwehra ( talk) 15:57, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
I find it totally ironic that teenagers who spew out bullshit when they have no experience of living in the eighties and what was behind such terrorist acts like flight182 find it somewhat easy to describe events they have no knowledge of.
If they are desperate to have an independant religious state, then they should relinquish their US or UK Citizenship with immediate effect, but they wont because of double standards.
The reasons they (khalistani terrorists) cry foul repeatedly is because they want to live in some mad religious utopian theocratic lunatic state run by lunatics with no knowledge of business, economics, health, education or technology. Such lunatic religious states (as history has shown) end up with starved citiziens despearte to leave.
If Sikhism is not a religion of tolerance and understanding but one based on divisions and hate then its no longer a religion.
So the killing of Muslims in Gujrat 2003 and many other places,Sikhs in 1984, Christians, low caste Hindus, Left wingers, Naxalites was all done by secular saints?
A state based on religion and eventual anarchy as seen during the eighties led many Sikhs especially rural Jatts to shift away from the Khalistani mentality when their own daughters were humped while giving terrorists refuge.
These were normally Indian Police who went around trying to dicredit the Sikhs, only India could do this to their own citizens. Many policeman are know coming out and saying this a few have been convicted but it far to slow.
Just read the book Soft Target and get ur facts straight. And ofr your information it was not written by any Pro-Khalistani. Thanks very much. Sunnybondsinghjalwehra ( talk) 22:26, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

With regard to Roadahead's addition of the Extension of Remarks from a congressional record, please do not synthesize "theocratic-democratic" by taking a source for "democratic" and hyphenating it to a differently sourced "theocratic." Furthermore, a politician's opinion cannot be placed at the same level as academic sources (the latter often attest to theocratic without mention of democratic).

" This culminated in the bombing of [[Air India Flight 182 in which 329 people were killed."
I am very very dubious of this statement. It needs sourcing, and more than sikhtimes. Link dead. - sinneed ( talk) 00:06, 25 May 2009 (UTC)
Any statement about a Living Person must meet the requirements in wp:BLP, whether the article as a whole is about the individual or about anything else. For example, an article about dogfood might claim that an individual endorsed the dogfood. BLP would apply. I have cut an entire section that did not meet wp:BLP, as it accused various persons of acting as lobbyists for the cause of Khalistan. One is free to speak for something, or for people involved in something, without being a "lobbyist" for that cause. - sinneed ( talk) 23:42, 25 May 2009 (UTC)
"The Khalistan movement is now widely seen as a smaller scale separatist movement by some Sikh youth in Canada, the US and the UK. [2]"
That is not what the source says, at all. If this rests on the body, it should not be tagged to that source.
- sinneed ( talk) 12:43, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
NA and UK *ARE* international from India. Thus, no, not misleading, as it is supported by the source. Please explain any objection. Thanks. - sinneed ( talk) 15:04, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

Academics are more reliable than proponents. I'll take this up to WP:RS, when I have some time. -- vi5in [talk] 16:10, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
" This culminated in the bombing of [[Air India Flight 182 in which 329 people were killed."
I am very very dubious of this statement. It needs sourcing, and more than sikhtimes. Link dead. - sinneed ( talk) 00:06, 25 May 2009 (UTC)
Any statement about a Living Person must meet the requirements in wp:BLP, whether the article as a whole is about the individual or about anything else. For example, an article about dogfood might claim that an individual endorsed the dogfood. BLP would apply. I have cut an entire section that did not meet wp:BLP, as it accused various persons of acting as lobbyists for the cause of Khalistan. One is free to speak for something, or for people involved in something, without being a "lobbyist" for that cause. - sinneed ( talk) 23:42, 25 May 2009 (UTC)
"The Khalistan movement is now widely seen as a smaller scale separatist movement by some Sikh youth in Canada, the US and the UK. [2]"
That is not what the source says, at all. If this rests on the body, it should not be tagged to that source.

NA and UK *ARE* international from India. Thus, no, not misleading, as it is supported by the source. Please explain any objection. Thanks. - sinneed ( talk) 15:04, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
