Babbar Khalsa

Babbar Khalsa is a Sikh separatist organization founded in the early 1980s, primarily advocating for an independent Sikh homeland called Khalistan. Originating in Punjab, India, the group has been involved in militant activities, including violence and acts of terrorism, seeking self-determination for Sikhs. It has also operated internationally, notably in countries like Canada and the UK, where some members have been linked to extremism. While its supporters view it as fighting for Sikh rights and autonomy, governments label Babbar Khalsa as a terrorist organization due to its history of violent actions.
