Sikhs, followers of the Sikh religion, centered in Punjab State,

The Khalistan issue refers to a Sikh separatist movement that
seeks to establish a Sikh homeland within the Punjab region. The
proposed state would consist of land that currently forms Punjab,
India and Punjab, Pakistan. The Khalistan issue came to a head in
1983 when a religious militant leader Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale
seized the Golden Temple with his armed followers. This prompted Prime
Minister Indira Gandhi to launch ‘Operation Blue Star’ that resulted
in the deaths of Bhindranwale and his followers and massive damage to
the Golden Temple. In the aftermath, PM Indira Gandhi was assassinated

infighting, and disillusionment from the Sikh population..
