Canadian Pro-Khalistan Sikhs protest against the Indian government and call for a separate Sikh state as they attend a Nagar Kirtan to celebrate Vaisakhi in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, on April 27, 2025. The Khalistan movement refers to a movement that seeks to create a separate Sikh state, called Khalistan, in the Punjab region of India. The territorial definition of the proposed nation is disputed, with some believing it should be carved simply out of the Indian state of Punjab, where Sikhs are the majority population. The Khalistan movement is declared a terrorist movement by the government of India, and its support and fundraising are illegal within India.
