List of pro-Khalistan movement organisations

The Khalistan Movement is a separatist movement seeking to establish a homeland for Sikhs by establishing a sovereign Sikh state called Khalistan in the Punjab region of the Indian subcontinent. The proposed boundaries of Khalistan vary among different groups, but typically include the Sikh-majority Indian state of Punjab and potentially Punjabi-speaking areas of neighboring states of Himachal Pradesh, Haryana and Rajasthan. While its roots trace back to the 1947 Partition of British India, it gained significant momentum in the 1970s with the Anandpur Sahib Resolution, which initially sought greater regional autonomy. The movement escalated into a violent insurgency in the 1980s following Operation Blue Star and the 1984 Sikh massacre, events that deeply affected the Sikh psyche. Today, while active militancy in India has largely subsided, the movement is sustained primarily by advocacy groups within the Sikh diaspora. Organizations like Sikhs for Justice continue to lobby for a sovereign state through non-binding Khalistan Referendum.
