Sikh Assembly Declares Khalistan Independence

April 29th, 1986 38 years ago

An assembly of Sikhs, known as a Sarbat Khalsa, took place at the Golden Temple in Amritsar, Punjab. This gathering was called to address the growing sentiment for Sikh autonomy and independence. Over 200,000 Sikhs attended this event, where leaders declared the creation of Khalistan, a proposed sovereign Sikh state. This declaration was driven by long-standing grievances regarding political representation and religious freedom for Sikhs in India.
