Khalistan Referendum

The Khalistan Referendum is a political movement advocating for the creation of an independent Sikh state called Khalistan in the Punjab region of India. Supporters argue it would allow Sikhs to self-govern and preserve their cultural and religious identity. The referendum seeks to gauge public opinion on this idea, often through petitions or campaigns. However, it is not officially recognized by the Indian government, which views it as a challenge to India's sovereignty. The movement remains controversial, with debates over Sikh autonomy, regional politics, and national unity.
