Yayyy best early new year gift. I think this is the most controversial topic you cover until today. I always though your channel cover non controversial subject so this really good surprise and worried me because i hope no bad things happen to your channel, see you on next year 👍
@@safruddinaly5822Thanks a lot! Yeah I think this one will have a controversial response but I did everything I could to research as deeply as possible and present the facts neutrally and I hope that's enough. Thanks for watching and I hope you have a great New Year!
@@SikhNationalist bro I am Nieve I don’t know any better, I have just one simple question. If u want Khalistan on historical Punjab, why you want only the Indian side of the Punjab not the pakistan side?
@@SikhNationalist Jats make up 50-60% of Sikhs. They make up 80% of Khalistani, which is the vast majority. This isn't a Jar versus non Jat issue. It's simply that Jat interests, agricultural interests, align with Khalistan and so obviously it would entice more Jats
the story of the Sikhs over the last 50 years is probably one of the best examples of how political manuvering by dividing the people is possibly the worst possible decision any politician could make in the longterm for everyone involved.
Punjab is divided into two parts Pakistan & India ... Say to Pakistan to Give me land why u need India only.... Sikh are living in peace here don't distrupt country ... By Chinese fund to make India week
@@kareemshah2285Last time I've heard... There are around 1600 native languages in India.... Even my language isn't legally recognised by the government....
I believe some Irish farmers gave Mountbatten some fertilizer in the end. Or was it a gelatin cake? Probably wasn't a farmer either. Never realized the roll he had in carving up India, just that he was governor general at some point. He screwed up as Royally as the Brits who carved up the Middle East, Sykes-Picoh, after the great war. If you can't rule the people yourself, better to have them preoccupied with each other. Seems the Sikhs would have had more of an axe to grind with him than the Irish. After watching this video it's possible the Irish just love the Sikhs. Then again I don't know a ton about him, just that he was living in the north, a hero of the realm, a high royal family member, the stories I saw about him made him out to be a sympathetic grandfather out on his simple little boat.
I find it personally embarrassing that I didn't know any of this information until watching this, despite Sikh's being the reason I can make this post today. When I became homeless in my teens, I wandered the streets until I passed by a Sikh temple and was invited in for a meal and to rest. I shared my story with them and since I had nothing else to do, I found myself going back time and time again, less often for a meal and more just to spend more time with the people who I felt had 'saved' me. It is incredibly heartbreaking to hear the history of hate directed towards a group of people thought of as, in your own words, "The sword of the Nation".
This channel is absolute trash , he is presenting the case as if he was there , he doesn't have a clue , absolute madness and skipping facts to set a narrative, he is not giving facts , he is omitting important and credible information and telling what he wants to push towards a narrative.

And the map is wrong , this trashbag just moving towards one goal. start with Wikipedia then go towards more legitimate sources for accurate information, this this trash
And now I know why my dad is super paranoid about Khalistan. EDIT: I think the Hindu nationalists, including my dad, are nuts for fixating on Khalistan so much. This video really made me sympathize with the Sikh/Punjabi perspective because this all could have been avoided if India hadn't been so stupid.
@@NationalistBhartiya Punjabis dominate the demographics, politics, economy and foreign policy of Pakistan though. Whereas Punjabis in India only make up about 2% of the total population yet they are overrepresented in the army (mainly Sikhs) and entertainment industry (because of their fair skin colour which Indians are mad about). But the present day government of India doesn't respect the sovereignty of Punjab, their culture, origin and their uniqueness. They basically want all of the people living within the socially constructed borders of India (yes geographical borders are a social construct) to be ruled by a Hin-dutva dictatorship that doesn't respect the uniqueness of different cultures, languages, ethnicities and races within India.
@@jostnamane39512 million sikh were loving in Pakistan after partition but today there are only 30,000 65-70% of khalistan is now in today's pakistan. How many sikh pm or big politician pak had khalistan is funded by Pak and China to disturb India
Its absolutely crazy how much damage Indira Gandhi did to India. I still can't believe we have places and government schemes named after her. As a relatively young Indian, learning all of this for the first time.
@@Natureone585 that doesn't solve anything. Both sides have suffered, innocent people have suffered, however this was clearly an ethnic cleansing taking place towards Sikh people. The Congress politicians of the time definitely abused their power and even Hindus were suffering because of that abuse of power. We are being played by the elite. Sikhs in Punjab believe in the ideology of a secular Bharat but the central government has way too much power and its discriminatory actions are hurting Sikh people both psychologically and physically.
Hindus in PB suffered that they never stood for and with PB. If one is not faithful to own family or state, naturally he will suffer. The PB is so small and Sikh majority is due to betryal of Pbi Hindus. Otherwise Kangra till Palampur and Haryana up to Sarswati river is PB and was Hindu majority.@@Natureone585
Accept their struggles and don't forget ours, Hindus and Sikhs went through Ideological warfare and lack of knowledge fueled this conflict, we are united by ideals, don't forget what happened in the past but forgive on the way to the future. Also try being open and view things from other side of the mirror, even if you are not able to accept that, thy being in there shoes and think like them(as in people who followed their leaders like sheep ) they were just people used by other people. God never wrote our destiny but he knows it, we make our own path he just walks with us on it and waits on the end of it. He never tells us to do good or bad because he believes in all of us but we fight in his name but he never demands it. Make sure his name spreads peace and never fear, acceptance never disconnect, respect those who walk the path they pave despite the boundary of religion and finally "karma karte raho, phal ki chinta mat karo" Jai siyaram@@Natureone585
this is a genuine work of art. from the sikh community, thank you for speaking up about this and educating us all on what’s going on. really love the way you did it ❤
He also had some wrong facts probably because he read GBS sidhu who was a govt spy and used only heavily biased media articles in his book, Bhindrawale was a head of an organization which was created by Guru Gobind singh ji called Damdami Taksal he was’nt planted
And worst thing is through capturing of academia and media congress and left has white washed the Indira Gandhi's personality and her career as iron fist lady who took difficult decision despite danger... The more i read about her the more i think she was closest to a dictator. And i feel frustrated that political parties can do so much damage for winning democratic election.
The right is now doing the same with Modi. I'm convinced that India has never had a liberal democracy and our people prefer strong men over actual good leaders.
@@Ishpreetb264 i am not married to some specific ideology so i can't say whether liberal democracy is gold standard or not... But what might work for Europe doesn't guarantee its gonna work for India, a European norm doesn't become gold standard of governance for whole earth. Every country has unique advantage and problem, unique neighbour, unique mindset. And in case of India i pretty sure with the constitution and draconian law like our these nation was never meant to be a liberal democracy in first place so it's just waste of time to accuse any PM for not upholding value of liberal democracy.
@@Ishpreetb264 every country has different definitions and standard for what consider as "good leader" what might be good leader in Canada could be considered as cowered leader in Isreal, what might be "good leader" in china could be consider as dictator in Sweden's scale of "good leader". And being nationalist strong men or woman is a important standard in India for consider as "good leader".
Bluestar was necessary sooner or later, you have to accept that. Also, she was at the helm during the victory of '71 so ofc she gets the credit for it.
When you said I just watched an hour long documentary about Khalistan. I paused my Roku like “the hell I did” and I had in fact watch an hour long doc on TH-cam. I really appreciate your cancel, I was interested in Sikhism for years but didn’t know a lot about where to start. Then I met my boyfriend who is Sikh and Punjabi and I decided to make more of an effort. I’ve been binge watching your content even some of your videos not involving Sikhism or Punjabis at all.
I know you not like my comment, but the video is pretty one sided. It demonizes the Delhi Government without giving any reasons on why they acted that way. It also never mentioned the " deeds " of Bhindarwale and his teams and how Bhindarwale's own statements are contradictory.
@@sardarkangcuz its not just about Sikhs its about all other neighbor states too water is not just there there's also that water come from Himalayas 🤡
Your channel has improved a lot, you went from being a single guy drawing stick men and telling a story to having a team with a scriptwriter, illustrator, more elaborate investigations, Your channel has definitely improved a lot, my sincere congratulations to you and everyone who helps in the creation of these videos
Thanks a lot. I do my best to improve and making videos with such a small team is time consuming. This video for example was just me and my amazing illustrator who drew the cartoon illustrations. But it's worth it to share this information 😊
Does not explain why there seems to be no Pakistani Punjab on your map. Or do you mean that Sikhs have been totally purged from those home lands? Khalistan is a favorite topic for the Pakistani ISI and their controllers in the CIA. Did you know that during the 1945 operation Paperclip not only scientists but also lots of other naz*s where absorbed into the FBI, military (NATO head) and in the pre-CIA?
Agreed, i used to ignore this channel because i felt it was too biased and not up to snuff to ignore the bias, but this video (while biased, not that im opposed to the bias) is excellently composed and produced, might even sub
As a Sikh, this is one of the best things I’ve seen. You captured the tragic history of Sikh people in India in the last 200 years so phenomenally well!
@@manpreetmannu1428 Why are you so much concerned about Brahmins and India ??? You are a Khali-Shaitaani Bot... You will only get a toilet paper to cry
I am a Malaysian. Malaysia also has a very big Sikh community. They are very important part of our country before and also after Malaysia's independence. I learn a lot from this video about Sikhs in India. Thanks a lot.
SALaM, SHLAMa, SHLOMo, SHALoM, NAMASTe, PEACe. Trinitarians are inoculated from rationality, facts and logic. It is no surprise that basic reasoning is entirely lost on those that believe that the creator became one of those he created in order to save the created from his own self. Not to mention the incoherence in the scripture, never minding the creed itself. Matthew 4:1) Jesus was tempted [James 1:13) God cannot be tempted (John 1:29) Jesus was seen (1 John 4:12) No man has ever seen God (Acts 2:22) Jesus was and is a man, sent by God (Numbers 23:19, Hosea 11:9) God is not a man (Hebrews 5:8-9) Jesus had to grow and learn (Isaiah 40:28) God doesn't ever need to learn (1 Corinthians 15: 3-4) Jesus Died (1 Timothy 1:17) God cannot die (Hebrews 5:7) Jesus needed salvation (Luke 1:37) God doesn't need salvation (John 4:6) Jesus grew weary (Isaiah 40:28) God cannot grow weary (Mark 4:38) Jesus slept (Psalm 121: 2-4) God doesn't sleep (John 5:19) Jesus wasn't all powerful (Isaiah 45: 5-7) God is all powerful
SALaM, SHLAMa, SHLOMo, SHALoM, NAMASTe, PEACe. 1. Many Verses Within The Vedas, Avesta, Cannon, Psalms, Torah & Gospel, Still Have Authentic Verses. 2. The Corrupted Verses From These Scriptures Sent, Are All The Double Dutch Verses, Which Contradict The Nature Of God. 3. All These Scriptures Testify God Being One. 4. All Later Verses With A Trinity Were Added, Some With Multiple Marvel Like Gods [Hinduism]. 5. The Noah Family: Vedas: There Is Only One God, There Is Only One Source, There Is Only One Supply. Avesta Zoroastrian: There Is Only One Wise God, Whom Is Uncreated. Buddhist Cannon: There Is Only One God, Whom Created Good & Evil. 6. The Abraham Family: Torah [Old Testament]: The LORD is our God, the LORD is one. Gospel [New Testament]: I am the Lord, and there is none else, there is no God beside me.

SALaM, SHLAMa, SHLOMo, SHALoM, NAMASTe, PEACe. Both The Star of David And The Crescent, Are Found In Hinduism. Hinduism Vedas = Monotheism Guru Books = Trinity & Polytheism. Hinduism Was The Largest Monotheistic Religion In Ancient Times, But When They Added The Trinity And Polytheism, The Religion Declined. Then God Sent The Zoroastrian Avesta Leading To The Buddhist Canon, Both Added The Trinity And Polytheism. Then God Started The Abrahamic Family With Psalms, Torah, Gospel & Quran.
Great video . As a sikh i really appreciate your hard work for the research that you have done . Even so many sikhs will learn about their history . Please don’t stop making videos like these ❤
As a Hindu, I have Sikh friends and I truly believe that Sikhs are good people. I hope the deaf Indian govt will one day understand the pain of the people and not the politicians. 👍🕉️👍🇮🇳 🕉️❤️Sikh
@@Satyaa5633 I agree, in the past they were. I donno how you assumed I don't. But the comment implies to the present. Let me make one thing clear, it's not that the violence was one sided where hindus killed sikhs... There were many sikhs who killed hindus too(including my grandfather who did nothing but was a visiting his friend in delhi).... But more then that we should appreciate that from both the communities help was extended to the injured people. And the hindu-sikh unity still persists. I am even for a official apology from the Government of India to the sikh community for what happened in op Blue star and punjab during Indira Gandhi's era. But if you say that now in present sikhs are "oppressed" in India, then you're just living in some lala land.
Thank you for summarizing the topic effectively. Now I can fwd this video to everyone who wants to learn more about the issue rather than explain it myself for an hour.
I'm a Hindu from Himachal Pradesh and I have to say, Sikh people are some of the warmest, kindest and friendliest people I've ever met. There's a Gurudwara near my home, and me and my family have been there a number of times, we have even prayed there, and have partaken in the Langar Seva. We have also been to the Golden Temple and prayed there. There's something so beautiful about the experience, and I always love the calm and quiet. We have neighbours who are Sikhs, and when they had a little boy, they invited us alongwith all their family go the Gurudwara I was talking about earlier. We never once felt alienated or unwelcome. That's the beauty of diversity if it's done right, and I dearly hope that my country's people overcome their prejudices against each other, because they're missing out on a wholesome experience of getting to experience someone else's culture, and share their happiness.
People today don’t realize how bad the discrimination against Sikhs following Indira Gandhi’s assassination had become in the country. Celebrities who are household names today like Amitabh Bachchan himself were openly giving speeches advocating for more violence against them back then. They have never been held accountable for any of it.
Amitabh Bachan was a full blooded Congressi and thats the dark truth of Congress which claims it was always secular. Everyone knows how 'secular" Congress was and is.
What an eye opening video! Very important and must watch video for all factions involved. Im a indian hindu, from childhood we been looking up to the sikh community, they are most respected in our area(andhra/telangana/south india) I hope all issues were resolved, sikhs get justice, but i dont want to loose sikh community from our country, without them its not india anymore.
Punjab is divided into two parts Pakistan & India ... Say to Pakistan to Give me land why u need India only.... Sikh are living in peace here don't distrupt country ... By Chinese fund to make India week
500 years back there was India when sikhi not even came.. how dare you say that without them or anyone there will be no India? You qre Hindu or Muslim ir Sikh that's yours personal matter.. don't play soft card. India was india is and India will remain always.. even without some jahils.
As an Indian Hindu, Sikhs are our brothers in blood and nation, and I hope the government solves these issues that led to such violence in the first place. Sikhs are an unalienable and proud part of India, and I offer my condolences to them to the horrors they faced in the past at the hands of the Congress government. In the light of such atrocities, let us work together to punish the perpetrators, right the wrongs of the past, and stay united for the future. Jai Hind, Jai Bharat, Jai Shri Ram, Waheguru ji ki fateh ❤️🇮🇳
finally, a well researched, well edited video covering the events around blue star and its impact. i am sikh, and litterally nowhere else i have been able to find such a well made video
Indians have deep respect for our sikh people. They are hardworking hence second richest community in India. India is theirs as much as it is someone's else. All the wrong that has been done should be brought to justice. Long live sikhism and India.
Easy to say these words, harder to bring them into being. No minority is safe as long as hindutva ideology is still around and as long as Hindu identity, secular identity and Indian identity are all equated with one another in the popular Indian consciousness (this equation of identities in India has been long noted by scholars)
"Preaching equality for all" "An empire comprised of Sikhs, Muslims, and Hindus" "Protect those who cannot protect themselves" I had no idea Sikhs were the coolest mfers on the planet. Even Akbar the Great can't touch them.
@assassincreed1238 I am aware that Muslims are cool too, hence why I mentioned Akbar (my personal favorite ruler to receive "The Great" as a title) Good to know his tolerance extended to Sikhs too :)
bro if these ideas were cool then I am certain you have never studied about any of these ideas. Everything isnt that simple dude. Ever thought why percentage wise most scheduled caste population is within sikh populations(which means sikhs are one of the most casteist groups in the country)? its a contradiction to equality. There is a context to all of these. A villain in any anime blurts out these sweet things too. That villain knows that simple people will believe him and ignore the complexities that lay hidden within these very ideas.
@@ayushnayak4060 if Sikhs had the ability to change the rules of India remeber they can’t and also punjabs population is 50 percent Hindu so there’s a big influence from them also because Sikhs and Hindus are interconnected
See Cogito? More white people like this are going to support the Canadian Khalisthanis because of this one sided video. And once things get out of hand, they'll be like "it's not our problem".
@@yta6638 please don't use your uneducated guesses about what I might think or do to support your arguments. you know nothing about me or my political beliefs. everything you think you know is born out of assumption and stereotyping. do better
The more I watched this video, honestly, the more it broke my heart. I am an Indian Hindu, and I have grown up with a lot of respect and adoration for all communities in the country be it the Sikhs or the Jains. I had absolutely zilch of an idea that Sikhs are somehow being pressured to assimilate or give up their unique identity in one way or another by the Indian government. India is not a country which has ever been 'uniform in identity' ever in its history. Even during the ancient period of the Indus Valley civilization, we had three to four ethnic groups inhabiting our land. I also bow my head in respect to the Sikhs who must be having SO MUCH faith in this land and its culture, that despite so many atrocities they are still peacefully negotiating and actually willing to cooperate with India in every sphere. This is one community that has given a lot to us, and we cannot allow them to be marginalized or be tainted as the villain. I don't care about foreign Sikhs, but the Sikhs who live in the Indian state of Punjab deserve to have their demands HEARD and discussed. India is a union of states, not a Hindu colonization of non-Hindu subjects and I hope it doesn't turn out that way ultimately because of political powers in this country. At the social level, sat sri akal to all my Sikh brethren, we respect you as a unique social group with a common root in our civilization.
You don’t know how good this felt as a sikh to hear bhai, because 99% of the comments I’ve read want me dead for wanting my country back, it was never a sikh Hindu thing, Hindus are welcome like all others in Khalistan
As a Sikh born and brought up in India I can 100% attest to the Sikh perspective shown in this video. It's sad and disheartening to see that most Indians will never acknowledge this. A simple Truth and Reconciliation committee can go a long way to heal our grievances.
@@awesomestevie27We don't want you dead, we just want you not to be hypocritical. Majority of Khalistan is in Pakistan. Yet none of you grew a pair to ever demand it from them. The age seperatism is over. My country will never be divided again in the name of caste and creed. First you grow a pair to ask your land from Pakistan then come to India, or you'll be treated the same way Pakistanis are treated. Either learn to live together or leave. Stop bringing up Khalistani agenda with the problems of Sikhs. They are seperate things.
@@harlowida What is Khalsa? Please explain. No more dividing countries based on religions. This is 21st century grow up and stop using words like fascists without knowing the meaning of it. Sikhs are treated in India equally and respectfully. A fascist state would wipe them out. That is what fascism means.
@@direwolf7491you didn’t even watch the vid did you, many Hindus will live In peace in khalistan, after years and years of genocide and less rights , we deserve a separate country even if we weren’t different religiously, ethnically and linguistically
In the 1980's innocent sikh young men were being abducted by police and killed in Punjab. They were taken and you would never see them again. Ask any family in Punjab and they will tell you about their experience on this.
It was really scary era ...my father's best friend was gunned down in 1983 dhilwan bus massacre...and there were many such attacks the point is that a fire in forest burns everything......and trauma can't be reduced by settling scores of which community suffered more...jisne apna yaar apna beta apna bhai ..khoya h wahi jaanta h ....
@@atul.binda.mithleshyea they were killed by the police and government and made it look like it was the kharku Singhs. My neighbour and his son were killed by the police because his 2nd son was a Kharku. We have over 20 hindu family in our village but no harm done to them by any kharku. It had nothing to do with hindu’s but government.
Yes ofcourse, it was a truly terrible political war going on at that time. As an Indian, even though I'm not Sikh but has many Sikh friends, I'm ashamed of what Ms Indira Gandhi did and what she suffered as a result was very deserving of her I believe. But all of that have been settled now both politically and socially and not forcefully but with high spirits of the Sikh themselves who rightly consider themselves sons of the land of India, not Khalistan.

Thank you Cogito for informing about this Horrible story of the Sikhs of my country. As a Bengali Hindu I can't deny the contribution of Indira Gandhi for giving shelter to many Hindus during 1971, she is like Mother for us. But what she had done with Sikh is inhuman, I as an Indian Hindu can't believe that this is done by our beloved PM Indira. How could we know when nobody told us about this dark chapter, nobody gave us full information, in school we are taught about Green Revolution but nobody told us that the harmful affect of this and Punjab lost its 90% ground water, nobody told us about the harmful affects of Green revolution and nobody told us that Punjab fed the Whole India by making their own land barren, nobody told us about the Genocide of Sikhs in 1984, nobody taught us about the Killings of Sikhs during Emergency. I am urging to my Sikh brother and sisters please don't misunderstand the Hindus of this country, we have really no knowledge about this Dark chapter, we were not taught about this things in School or College, whatever we know is in bits and pieces. Those Sikhs Lives Lost Can't be Returned But Atleast We Indians Should Provide Sikhs Justice and Reconciliation. It's time for Hindus to repay with interest for what Sikhs had sacrificed in the past to protect Hindus.
@@ts9271 My brother it's tragic for both of our states Punjab and Bengal, we both were in the forefront of the Freedom struggle but we faced the most sufferings, we both faced riots and pain of partition. And I know that everybody should have the right to self determination but think about one thing that today Sikhs live everywhere in India, many have good business in Kolkata, Bangalore, Delhi and each and every corner of our country. And the partition of a country is always sad and gloomy, I know because my ancestors also did migration. And afterall we don't want to lose our beloved Sikh brother.
@@ts9271 what happened in the past was definitely wrong However that doesn't mean we should divide india for that , most Sikhs in India understand that mostly only the Canadian Sikhs demand khalistan who don't even live in India. So khalistan definitely won't happen as even the movement is funded by Pakistan that's the reason why pakistan Punjab is not in the khalistan map.
@@gamerz000.bro you want to admit or not India is still under slavery, when the white British left the the brown Brahmins just took their seats. Why you people have a hate for Khalistan? Didn’t Hindus also once wanted their own country Hindustan before they got independence in 1947 from the British? Currently it’s like a abusive relationship of Sikhs and Hindus and if one is being abused(Sikhs) then you will also understand why they would want out of the relationship and I don't know the aspiration of having our own independent country is considered a crime. In past 40 years, 34 new countries have been formed and recognized by the UN. It is not a big deal. It is just what people want for themselves. People like you are trying make us feel like demanding for a separate state is a sin. In western countries, you can have a separate country if people want it. just vote for referendum.
@@JohnWickSOS 1) Brahmins didn't took over the seats don't try act like politics works on caste , caste system has been abolished long ago and now it's only used for providing opportunities for the needy (like OBC) Theere is barely any caste base discrimination that happens now days and thoose too in rural area. 2)Noone is abusing Sikhs now ,it was done in the past by the Congress government and its supporter but people aren't the same now they themselve hate Congress. 3)yes new countries form but do you know what happens to most of the countries that get divided? Both suffer a lot and specially if one or both side don't want to split there may be riots which are even worse.
This documentary is fantastic. I have been doing research on Sikhism and the Punjab. I never understood what the 1984 attack on Amritsar was about, nor did I understand the details about the Khalistan movement. This documentary finally clarified and informed me about this. This is an excellent documentary. I highly recommend it.
People would never want independence if there was no pressure and unfairness to them. They could be completely different, have different culture, tradition, religion, but if they left alone to live as they want, there will be just no reason for them to separate.
@@Bundpataka It's not easy to go out of India to western countries. Often the most talented or rich people can afford to go. And if someone can go to a developed country they will go there. That's the real reason of Indians going abroad.
Thanks you for this video explaining such a difficult topic in an honest and fair way, I remember stumbling across one of your video's on religion a while back and remember how well it was made. There's definitely a problem in the world at the moment with understanding our brothers and sisters. It's far too easy to just villainize and dehumanize people especially when they don't look like us during points of tension. We need more people like you in the world explaining and promoting understanding, especially when it comes to more sensitive topics like religion and conflicts. You're definitely a gem Cogito and you've got yourself a new fan :)

Awesome video, mate! The depth that you go into for these videos is astonishing and really worthy of appreciation. In current India, these are kinds of videos that people need to see. Instead people are getting fed hatred and falsehoods. Thanks for looking at this issue and doing it justice. On a sidenote, I just love Ireland and its people. You guys are really the best!
Thank you so much I really appreciate it. Being from Ireland and having gone through the same struggle gives me immense appreciation for India and it's history.

@@pipipupu5104 this video is very well made, but stories from the elders back in punjab that are not out there publicly on the internet. For example, there were many poeple left out such as KPS Gill, Butcher of Punjab (I'm guessing the man who made the video seen many different stories and decided not to add him), and there were FAR more inner betrayals than you would belive from our own Sikhs being Sellouts to the government. This is what I can think just from the top of my head but I remeber hearing many many more stories from my family going through those times.
I watched this whole thing on Nebula, but wanted to come here to thank you for your incredible work on this. I knew parts of this story from news articles and wikipedia, but I’ve never seen something that threads the whole story together like this. Absolutely top notch work.
Amazed at your research. This is really great fact-finding. Not many Indians can say they know all this. I, as a student of law and economics had to remember hard if i has heard of or learnt some of the things you talked about, like the water sharing rule. Great job.
Punjab and Bengal had the most contribution in India's freedom movement and both of us suffered the most due to partition..... But, now Hindi belt people lecture us how to be a proper patriot and contribute to the country.....

American Sikh here. Thank you for covering such a delicate and complicated ethnoreligious struggle. God be with you.Sat Sri Akaal Ɓole so Nihaal! Sat Sri Akaal!
Well researched and very well put together. Certain areas probably needed even more elaboration but to sum up such a vast issue in one hour is commendable in it's own right. Very well done! Keep it up!
The 1986 declaration of Khalistan was during an arrest on site curfew where still a million were able to reach the golden temple and declare Khalistan and an armed resistance against their genocide by a religious meeting called a Sarbat Khalsa, which means the people of the religion have to follow what was declared or announced at the last Sarbat Khalsa
What needs to be followed are the votes of Punjabi’s during elections. Like most developed nations, religion and state needs to be separated in the modern world During the Guru’s time we did not have a political institution and army to protect our people. Now India has that. There is a reason 8% of the Indian army is from the Sikh people while only 3% of the population of India. They are loyal to their motherland. Their motherland isn’t just the boundaries of current day Punjab. Any Sikh still thinking they can mix religion and state is no different to a modern day Islamist. Move on. The Sikh dharmic based faith allows for evolution.
@@singharkirat No, demand Justice truth and transparency and move towards development and upliftment. What happened during the emergency and subsequent events were tragic and heartwrenching but the people were again tried to be taken advantage of by political parties during the farm bills which were actually beneficial to them. This can only be solved when are large herd like masses start to think for themselves through education and stay in to develop their homes(Punjab).
@@ujjwalkaushik4664 bro why you digress from topic of video here... Farm laws issue was national with agitating farmers from all over India... and why take back on Gurpurab (you won't see politics here.. right😂 why not on or close to Independence like 370) and why not see that BJP failed to consult and then remedy the imposed laws when even The UP farmers were against.. tells you about the Autocracy... frankly I never heard Modi call out Indira but only moderate liberal Nehru...coz fact he is just like Indira and to your dislike he's gamin the system even better than her.. unfortunately .. if emergency was forced upon people and you say you don't like it ... similarly notebandi and farm laws were forced and frankly nobody affected by these liked them.. so try to clear your own prejudices before talking about the 'later events' which weren't even related to any politics.. Punjab's movement was pure federal rights against centralisation of power.. no politics in the core issue.. first agree to this then we can discuss further..
@@ujjwalkaushik4664How can we move on, when the same exact things are hapeening to this very day? Polic can arrest anyone and execute in Punjab. India call itself the beacon of democracy, but in reality, there's no freedom of anything. You ask for justice, fair treatment, human rights and you get bullet in return. Our only solution is our own sovereignty, our own land.
First video of yours and you've earned my sub. This area of history is a complete blindspot for me bar hearing about the death of Hardeep Singh Nijjar, and getting some insight into the history behind it has been eye opening
During the riots of 1984, more than just Delhi had been affected. In my city of Kolkata (back them it was Calcutta), the local Congress leadership alongside several Congress supporters had organised large teams to basically hunt down any Sikhs they found. Now back then Calcutta had far more Sikh Punjabis than now, since back then the Sikhs formed the base of our taxi and bus systems, working as drivers and mechanics. I still remember how my father told the stories to me, about how the streets fell silent after the news broke on Doordarshan (the only tv channel at that time) about Mrs. Gandhi's death. She may have been a partial dictator, but again remember she was EXTREMELY popular among the poor and underprivileged, for being a sort of "messiah figure" as a dedicated 'socialist'. So anyways, the next day news broke out about some rioting across the city, though most of it was controlled because West Bengal was under the CPI(M) back then (the Communist Party of India - Marxist). However, my grandmother and a friend of hers, while returning home from work, found that in Dhakuria (southern Calcutta), a mob had stopped a school bus and were intent on burning it down along with its driver and all the kids (schoolgirls from a nearby girls' school), because the driver was a Sikh! Now my grandmother literally jumped onto the bus entrance and started shouting "BURN ME FIRST AND THEN BURN THE KIDS", while her friend rushed to our home back then, and brought my grand uncle, and then he calmly negotiated with the mob leaders and managed to save the bus and the kids, by explaining how the kids had done nothing wrong, and that the bus driver would need to take them home safely, and so on (he had that ability to defuse situations, you can expect that from someone who got a Ph.D under Jan Tinbergen himself). My grandmother later narrated how the driver was shivering in fear when the mob were shouting about burning him, but she managed to hold them long enough for grand uncle to come and defuse the situation. Now she was an old timer member of the CPIM too, you can expect this level of insane heroism from their cadres of back then. I always feel rather proud of how she managed to save those children and the driver all along. However, the sad part would be that most Sikhs would eventually leave Calcutta, due to many reasons like growing urban unemployment and strict price/wage controls under the CPIM government. Still, atleast I can say with some pride that my grandmother helped save a fellow brother in our beloved nation ☺️🇮🇳
Using “Beloved Nation ☺️” in the same comment description that same nation committing genocide, shows the subconscious bond with a genocidal country that subconsciously makes people hate the khalistani restoration movement
@@awesomestevie27 The government didn't do those, you know. It's like saying that modern Germany is a genocidal country. Khalistan also costed the lives of several innocent Hindus too. Additionally, most Sikhs don't even want independence in India today.
Thank you so much for this incredibly detailed video. It took me several days to finally start it because I knew the subject matter would be heavy. But I'm so glad I did. To this day, my mother won't talk about what she witnessed during the insurgency in Punjab. I think you could have briefly mention the role of the rivers and the politics behind the various dams and canals that were built to divert water away from Punjab (which is already dangerously low on groundwater). I also think the role of Punjabi music, especially in the last 10 years, cannot be understated. Artists like Sidhu Moosewala helped connect diaspora Punjabi youth to the real issues back in Punjab, and at least started conversations about mutually shared problems facing the region. Thank you again for this excellent video; hope to see even more interesting topics covered.
This has been the best argument against “gun control” I’ve ever seen. The best part is how the government just suspended their laws when they didn’t want to follow them and told cops to do whatever they wanted. “But why would you ever need firearms??”
I'm from the UK and live near a Gurdwara, and I've always been amazed by the Sikh communities' charity and tolerance in my area. In any crisis, for anyone of any nationality or religion, the Sikhs were there to help. There was this one incident i remember quite vividly. Covid-19 issues left hundreds of delivery drivers stranded at the ferry crossing, which would take them to France usually, and they were not allowed to leave their lorries. The Sikh community came and provided food free of charge to the drivers and made sure they had essentials. I think we could all take a leaf out of their teachings.
Thank you for this! This was yet again such a wonderfully painstakingly detailed documentary. I especially am grateful for this one as a Canadian citizen who knew far too little about the topic! I’ve been interested in the topic since the assassination of Nijjar and the subsequent political fallout but have known very little of the background. Thank you so much for this! I love your work! I know you have made a short video on the division of Ireland but I would absolutely love to see a similarly detailed video on the history of the troubles there!
I am a British born Sikh jatt now living in Canada. I am amazed how many Sikh youth in Canada blindly support the Khalistan movement while either never having been to India or being born in Canada. I hope that this documentary, rings home why Khalistan as a movement arose, but why also the Sikhs and Punjabi’s generally living in India are NOT in support of an independent Khalistan state. They want to be an integral part of India, while at the same time having a degree of autonomy The ignorant fuelling of Sikh jatts in the west, does not help the cause. What would help is the push for a diplomatic truth and reconciliation, which pushes for increased powers for Punjab and reignites a wider geographical area identified as Punjab as was allocated in 1947. Punjab needs the type of investment the modi govt is doing in Kashmir, which has quelled the discontent there. Punjab needs that type of investment to give the youth a better future in India. India is now the 5th largest economy in the world. There will be a time in the next 20-30 years that the Indian diaspora will want a return or the youth of India will no longer look to the west to live and earn. Hopefully Punjab can also have a Bangalore kind of northern hub
@@rra6033 haha .. what about the brainwashing you undergone with BJP 'investing in'' Kasmir.. look at the news dude.. kashmir -Kurdish - earlier Israel now Gaza.. is all same issue politics using religion as a weapon
@@rra6033 leaders of punjab right now have ruined the state. flirting with jattwaadi and seperatists and zameendaars means that elitism is rampant. punjab needs a reset. also someone has to stop the christian missionaries running amok in punjab
thanks for covering this, as an American we don't cover Indian history at all and our knowledge of it is very low. I only learned of Operation Blue Star and of Bendwali(sp) just a couple of years ago. Even scoured YT for more information, and only came across one documentary about Bendwali - in Hindi with no English subtitles, so it was useless for me to learn anything about the backdrop of how it all started. So thank you Sir! I know much more about this event thanks to you ;-).
Despite all the unfairness, almost all punjabis, including myself, love and prefer to stay in India. But the problem is the moment anyone speaks about injustice in Punjab or against Sikhs, the government’s PR turn it into Khalistani rhetoric inviting bunch of trolls to mock and condemn all sikhs including those who don’t support the movement. This further fuels the khalistani movement. Having heard how my mom dad families lost so many of their cousins to the militancy and police encounters while growing up, sometimes its hard to swallow the pill of injustice. With that said Khalistani movement is only popular in sikhs who immigrated to foreign countries. During my years in canada, i have seen more support for khalistan than i saw in India.
So, there is a Sikh majority state that never elected a non Sikh as it's CM but cry about unfairness? If there is an unfairness issue it's related state- central govt conflict, not a religious one.
So you are saying there was no Khalistani hand in the farmer protests happening now and before?? Most of the Punjabi music performers support the Khalistani movement. So how can you say the criticism is incorrect??
As a Chinese living overseas every sentence of this video feels frighteningly familiar to the Xinjiang Conflict in China. Which I highly recommend you also research and do a video about...
15:04, the office building I work in as a software developer. I am from a Punjabi Sikh family although I am not a religious person myself. I wanted to thank you for making this video as it is very well researched on the topic which would have required alot of effort.
You forgot to mention the Sindhis, we lost our entire state. All of Sindh is in Pakistan. Had to move all over the world. We follow Hinduism and Sikhism.
You missed the part of Indian police using “Black Cats” men dressed up as militants who would go commit crimes agains humanity on the civilian population. Read “Sikhs of Punjab” by Joyce Pettigrew
Yes!!! I would like some more documents linked to this. You know the 28:32 event where he said a Sikh militant attacked a bus? My family from Panjab says this is because of those dressing up as Sikhs to make them look bad...
@@empathy.11 yea and it's not just a story to save our reputation but my dad told me people in the village (in 1980s, 90s) and elders would discuss what they do, they would go into people's house and commit crimes, and there was a clear distinction between these government black cats and militants.
@@user-kg7yj Yes and yes my grandparents told me the exact same thing they saw the militancy period, I even read about this in some books covering the 1990s insurgency
As someone who is also currently deep into research on this topic for a video that focuses more on the modern Canadian-Indian conflict and some questions regarding international law, I enjoyed watching your video and I think you did a great job at capturing the complexity of this issue. There are a few things I’d like to note: 24:07 I think it's more accurate to say that Bhindranwale mainstreamed violence rather than introduced it. There have been numerous violent riots/uprisings in the Punjab and beyond in the 1950s and 1960s between Sikhs and Hindus. And there were some small, disorganised groups of militant Sikhs active before - but it was Bhindranwale that popularised this militant approach and laid the foundation of the crisis to come in the 80s. 28:44 I think it's also important to point out that at least officially, the Indian government desperately tried to not portrait this as a conflict between Sikhs and Hindus. This is also a reason for why Operation Blue Star was in part led by (clean-shaven) Sikhs, as you mention. Nonetheless, tensions between Sikhs and Hindus were enormous by that time and you describe the sad results of that in the video. 56:55 I really like the ending of your video. Whether the Khalistan movement will reignite will definitely depend on how the Indian government will choose to react to Sikh demands and economic woes in the present, but also on how it will choose to deal with the past and the incredibly tragic period of the 80s and 90s. I’m sure your video will attract a lot of angry comments from both sides eventually, but that’s usually the hallmark of a good video in my opinion. Well done!
Brother he said there is no support for Khalistan which is completely untrue, most Punjabis are actually terrified to speak because of police harrassment and arrest, and just choose to ignore and remain silent especially after a aggressive Hindutva government of Modi, if asked most people would definitely support the idea of independent Punjab and that is why the government in no way wants to conduct a peaceful referendum in Punjab or Kashmir because they know it will result in division Almost 80-90 percent people from rural communities go to Canada for studies and migrants from other parts of India flood and change demographics here 😢😢
Stop justifying the massacre of thousands of innocent Sikh men, women, and children. No wonder Hinduism is often perceived negatively. It deserves it. Instead of persecuting and discriminating against the brave men and women of the Sikh community, who have historically defended Hindus for centuries, you should acknowledge their contributions. Is this how you repay those who have given their lives to protect this country? Respect should be given to the Sikh people who continue to defend the country from external threats. Without the Sikh community, India will lose a significant layer of its protection. Learn to show respect to the dedicated protectors of our nation.

If you want religious based statehood you are no different to an Islamist The guru clearly said “I am not Hindu, I am not Sikh” By that the guru was not limited by any faith or religion. That does not translate to “i am not Hindu, I am not Muslim, i am Sikh” Don’t limit the guru’s message with another label.

@@sumitpuri2620 : And yet in the map of Khalistan the Khalistani Sikhs (note: not all Shiks are Khalistanis) want Hindu majority Himachal Pradesh (95% Hindus) and Haryana (87% Hindus) and as a matter of fact even Punjab had 30% non-Sikhs.

As a Canadian with no ties to India except a few social + professional relationships, I'm very glad to have YT offer this up to me. That was informative & I'm glad to have actual context for some of what has been going on in Canada with communities with ties to the Sikh + other Indian religious or ethnic groups. It's incredible how little I've been taught about Indian history. I read up on Partition a few years ago & was pretty shocked it's not in our curriculum.
@@tamilpatriot7815 yes! They are no good. They try their best to break the society and create differences. I don't think, it has benefitted anyone except the foriegners who ruled/rules over us.
its such a fucking shame i have to learn about my own country's moments from a foreign youtuber. Thankyou sm for this informative video, I had no idea it was THIS bad. Im so fucking sorry to my sikh siblings for thinking it was not important. None of the major indian yt accs ever talked about this in detailed and let's not even talk about the media censorship. This is insane. JUSTICE FOR SIKHS!
Its a biased asf account. It will be also same if pakistan's hate for hindus was visioned in a video with just one sided accounts. Why was there no mention of murders and raping of millions of sikhs by muslims during partition? Why he didnt even show that khalistan also demand pakistani land? Why no mention of other minorities of India like jains, buddhists , parsis who flourished under India becoz they didnt ha e stupid selfish leaders. If anything this is extremly biased video trying to fuel to khalistani account. Any neutral source would also highlight murders and rapes done by khalistani and one and only terrorsit attack done by sanatanis aka sikhs done on air india flight. If anything hindus are shown as evil while in reality, Hindus even though majority have gotten shorter stick in every single case in India and are oppressed asf even by constitution.
i am shocked how Hindu guys are ignoring the evils of RSS and VHP guys who were also taking revenge on Sikhs during that era but scapegoating Indira Gandhi alone. Best way of hypocrisy or lack of reality.
If you want to know what Indian IT Support desk workers do in their spare time, look at the comments section of any video even mildly critical of India 😂, especially released by media conglomerates
Asking for a seperate country based on religion is never gonna end well for India. Even in rural areas, people of different faith live amongst each other. Its not as if people from every religion live seperately. It would just create a similar situation like partition in 1947.
Not really, SIkh independence was political, not religious. Many rural Punjabi Hindus saw themselves as basically Sikh, and were with them, as in the farmers protest. And I say this as someone who doesn't care for Khalistan
@@mk-m6779 I am talking about the viability of the partition. Hindu, Muslim, Sikhs and jains don't live in segregation. Everyone is spread across the country. It would just led to a similar situation in 1947.
@@farukhsheikh5790 Sikhs are largely concentrated in Punjab, and then a few districts alongside. Regardless, you're missing the point. The asking for a separate country isn't in a vacuum, it is a result of all the things that led up to it, and as said in the video, no one wants to leave. The best solution, with the diverse cultures, was to have a proper federation with states rights, as proposed in the Anandpur Sahib Resolution, for all states, as is in the USA. But ego and dictatorship took precedence.
@@mk-m6779 You say that you don't care for khalistan, but it seems that you are actively promoting it. Sikhs don't live just in Punjab, I have seen Sikh communities in the remotest town in Bihar near Nepal border, in upper Assam , in Maharashtra and even in arunachal pradesh. Similarly, Even in Punjab there is a large population of Hindus and Muslims. Seperation would just weaken the whole coalition, and such instances would cause more and more seperatist parties to form, which would just lead to the downfall of the entire country.
Thanks for reporting. Not just khalistan, nobody can claim indian region but sikhs or punjabi. Because 80 to 90% of people who died for the country at the time of the British or war with pak china were punjabis
@@hi-qj9vzyou don't have to claim it when you actually are. Especially in an area like that. Yes it's not upto the mark when it comes to certain European benchmarks. But between Israel and South Korea, there's only one democracy worth anything in Asia proper. India.
I'm not Indian or Sikh, but this was such a painful thing to watch. Everyone deserves to be treated properly. Clearly, the Sikhs were not given the rights and kindness they deserved from the very beginning.
I am a sikh and there is a fact about the operation blue star that the main media does not discuss, which is that the operation was not an unplanned military action. The military specifically made plans for this attack by recreating the layout of the Golden temple and trained in the mountains so that no one would notice their training. And they attacked several other local gurudwaras in Punjab where there were no reports of any occupancy of weapons. This was purely an attack on the Sikhs and Sant Jarnail Singh was just a way for central government to justify it

@@SikhNationalist Jats make up 50-60% of Sikhs. They make up 80% of Khalistani, which is the vast majority. This isn't a Jar versus non Jat issue. It's simply that Jat interests, agricultural interests, align with Khalistan and so obviously it would entice more Jats

I believe some Irish farmers gave Mountbatten some fertilizer in the end. Or was it a gelatin cake? Probably wasn't a farmer either. Never realized the roll he had in carving up India, just that he was governor general at some point. He screwed up as Royally as the Brits who carved up the Middle East, Sykes-Picoh, after the great war. If you can't rule the people yourself, better to have them preoccupied with each other. Seems the Sikhs would have had more of an axe to grind with him than the Irish. After watching this video it's possible the Irish just love the Sikhs. Then again I don't know a ton about him, just that he was living in the north, a hero of the realm, a high royal family member, the stories I saw about him made him out to be a sympathetic grandfather out on his simple little boat.

I find it personally embarrassing that I didn't know any of this information until watching this, despite Sikh's being the reason I can make this post today. When I became homeless in my teens, I wandered the streets until I passed by a Sikh temple and was invited in for a meal and to rest. I shared my story with them and since I had nothing else to do, I found myself going back time and time again, less often for a meal and more just to spend more time with the people who I felt had 'saved' me. It is incredibly heartbreaking to hear the history of hate directed towards a group of people thought of as, in your own words, "The sword of the Nation".

@@Natureone585hindus never suffered maybe 200 Hindu killed not more then that straight outta khalistan
Hindus in PB suffered that they never stood for and with PB. If one is not faithful to own family or state, naturally he will suffer. The PB is so small and Sikh majority is due to betryal of Pbi Hindus. Otherwise Kangra till Palampur and Haryana up to Sarswati river is PB and was Hindu majority.@@Natureone585
Accept their struggles and don't forget ours, Hindus and Sikhs went through Ideological warfare and lack of knowledge fueled this conflict, we are united by ideals, don't forget what happened in the past but forgive on the way to the future.
Also try being open and view things from other side of the mirror, even if you are not able to accept that, thy being in there shoes and think like them(as in people who followed their leaders like sheep ) they were just people used by other people.
God never wrote our destiny but he knows it, we make our own path he just walks with us on it and waits on the end of it. He never tells us to do good or bad because he believes in all of us but we fight in his name but he never demands it. Make sure his name spreads peace and never fear, acceptance never disconnect, respect those who walk the path they pave despite the boundary of religion and finally "karma karte raho, phal ki chinta mat karo" Jai siyaram@@Natureone585

And worst thing is through capturing of academia and media congress and left has white washed the Indira Gandhi's personality and her career as iron fist lady who took difficult decision despite danger... The more i read about her the more i think she was closest to a dictator. And i feel frustrated that political parties can do so much damage for winning democratic election.
The right is now doing the same with Modi. I'm convinced that India has never had a liberal democracy and our people prefer strong men over actual good leaders.

And in case of India i pretty sure with the constitution and draconian law like our these nation was never meant to be a liberal democracy in first place so it's just waste of time to accuse any PM for not upholding value of liberal democracy.

Let me make one thing clear, it's not that the violence was one sided where hindus killed sikhs... There were many sikhs who killed hindus too(including my grandfather who did nothing but was a visiting his friend in delhi).... But more then that we should appreciate that from both the communities help was extended to the injured people. And the hindu-sikh unity still persists.
I am even for a official apology from the Government of India to the sikh community for what happened in op Blue star and punjab during Indira Gandhi's era.
But if you say that now in present sikhs are "oppressed" in India, then you're just living in some lala land.
Thank you for summarizing the topic effectively. Now I can fwd this video to everyone who wants to learn more about the issue rather than explain it myself for an hour.
Thank you! Glad you found it helpful.
I'm a Hindu from Himachal Pradesh and I have to say, Sikh people are some of the warmest, kindest and friendliest people I've ever met.
There's a Gurudwara near my home, and me and my family have been there a number of times, we have even prayed there, and have partaken in the Langar Seva. We have also been to the Golden Temple and prayed there.
There's something so beautiful about the experience, and I always love the calm and quiet. We have neighbours who are Sikhs, and when they had a little boy, they invited us alongwith all their family go the Gurudwara I was talking about earlier. We never once felt alienated or unwelcome.
That's the beauty of diversity if it's done right, and I dearly hope that my country's people overcome their prejudices against each other, because they're missing out on a wholesome experience of getting to experience someone else's culture, and share their happiness.
People today don’t realize how bad the discrimination against Sikhs following Indira Gandhi’s assassination had become in the country. Celebrities who are household names today like Amitabh Bachchan himself were openly giving speeches advocating for more violence against them back then. They have never been held accountable for any of it.

The more I watched this video, honestly, the more it broke my heart. I am an Indian Hindu, and I have grown up with a lot of respect and adoration for all communities in the country be it the Sikhs or the Jains. I had absolutely zilch of an idea that Sikhs are somehow being pressured to assimilate or give up their unique identity in one way or another by the Indian government. India is not a country which has ever been 'uniform in identity' ever in its history. Even during the ancient period of the Indus Valley civilization, we had three to four ethnic groups inhabiting our land. I also bow my head in respect to the Sikhs who must be having SO MUCH faith in this land and its culture, that despite so many atrocities they are still peacefully negotiating and actually willing to cooperate with India in every sphere. This is one community that has given a lot to us, and we cannot allow them to be marginalized or be tainted as the villain. I don't care about foreign Sikhs, but the Sikhs who live in the Indian state of Punjab deserve to have their demands HEARD and discussed. India is a union of states, not a Hindu colonization of non-Hindu subjects and I hope it doesn't turn out that way ultimately because of political powers in this country. At the social level, sat sri akal to all my Sikh brethren, we respect you as a unique social group with a common root in our civilization.
You don’t know how good this felt as a sikh to hear bhai, because 99% of the comments I’ve read want me dead for wanting my country back, it was never a sikh Hindu thing, Hindus are welcome like all others in Khalistan

Yes ofcourse, it was a truly terrible political war going on at that time. As an Indian, even though I'm not Sikh but has many Sikh friends, I'm ashamed of what Ms Indira Gandhi did and what she suffered as a result was very deserving of her I believe. But all of that have been settled now both politically and socially and not forcefully but with high spirits of the Sikh themselves who rightly consider themselves sons of the land of India, not Khalistan.

As a Bengali Hindu I can't deny the contribution of Indira Gandhi for giving shelter to many Hindus during 1971, she is like Mother for us.
But what she had done with Sikh is inhuman, I as an Indian Hindu can't believe that this is done by our beloved PM Indira.
How could we know when nobody told us about this dark chapter, nobody gave us full information, in school we are taught about Green Revolution but nobody told us that the harmful affect of this and Punjab lost its 90% ground water, nobody told us about the harmful affects of Green revolution and nobody told us that Punjab fed the Whole India by making their own land barren, nobody told us about the Genocide of Sikhs in 1984, nobody taught us about the Killings of Sikhs during Emergency.
I am urging to my Sikh brother and sisters please don't misunderstand the Hindus of this country, we have really no knowledge about this Dark chapter, we were not taught about this things in School or College, whatever we know is in bits and pieces.
Those Sikhs Lives Lost Can't be Returned But Atleast We Indians Should Provide Sikhs Justice and Reconciliation. It's time for Hindus to repay with interest for what Sikhs had sacrificed in the past to protect Hindus.

Why you people have a hate for Khalistan? Didn’t Hindus also once wanted their own country Hindustan before they got independence in 1947 from the British? Currently it’s like a abusive relationship of Sikhs and Hindus and if one is being abused(Sikhs) then you will also understand why they would want out of the relationship and I don't know the aspiration of having our own independent country is considered a crime. In past 40 years, 34 new countries have been formed and recognized by the UN. It is not a big deal. It is just what people want for themselves.

This is an excellent documentary. I highly recommend it.
People would never want independence if there was no pressure and unfairness to them. They could be completely different, have different culture, tradition, religion, but if they left alone to live as they want, there will be just no reason for them to separate.

Well researched and very well put together. Certain areas probably needed even more elaboration but to sum up such a vast issue in one hour is commendable in it's own right. Very well done! Keep it up!
What's your views on future of this?
The 1986 declaration of Khalistan was during an arrest on site curfew where still a million were able to reach the golden temple and declare Khalistan and an armed resistance against their genocide by a religious meeting called a Sarbat Khalsa, which means the people of the religion have to follow what was declared or announced at the last Sarbat Khalsa
What needs to be followed are the votes of Punjabi’s during elections. Like most developed nations, religion and state needs to be separated in the modern world
During the Guru’s time we did not have a political institution and army to protect our people. Now India has that. There is a reason 8% of the Indian army is from the Sikh people while only 3% of the population of India. They are loyal to their motherland. Their motherland isn’t just the boundaries of current day Punjab.
Any Sikh still thinking they can mix religion and state is no different to a modern day Islamist.
Move on. The Sikh dharmic based faith allows for evolution.
@@rra6033 whitewash the past .. eh?
@@singharkirat No, demand Justice truth and transparency and move towards development and upliftment.

Farm laws issue was national with agitating farmers from all over India...

if emergency was forced upon people and you say you don't like it ... similarly notebandi and farm laws were forced and frankly nobody affected by these liked them.. so try to clear your own prejudices before talking about the 'later events' which weren't even related to any politics.. Punjab's movement was pure federal rights against centralisation of power.. no politics in the core issue.. first agree to this then we can discuss further..
@@ujjwalkaushik4664How can we move on, when the same exact things are hapeening to this very day? Polic can arrest anyone and execute in Punjab. India call itself the beacon of democracy, but in reality, there's no freedom of anything. You ask for justice, fair treatment, human rights and you get bullet in return. Our only solution is our own sovereignty, our own land.
First video of yours and you've earned my sub. This area of history is a complete blindspot for me bar hearing about the death of Hardeep Singh Nijjar, and getting some insight into the history behind it has been eye opening
What did you see in history of sikhs
During the riots of 1984, more than just Delhi had been affected. In my city of Kolkata (back them it was Calcutta), the local Congress leadership alongside several Congress supporters had organised large teams to basically hunt down any Sikhs they found. Now back then Calcutta had far more Sikh Punjabis than now, since back then the Sikhs formed the base of our taxi and bus systems, working as drivers and mechanics. I still remember how my father told the stories to me, about how the streets fell silent after the news broke on Doordarshan (the only tv channel at that time) about Mrs. Gandhi's death. She may have been a partial dictator, but again remember she was EXTREMELY popular among the poor and underprivileged, for being a sort of "messiah figure" as a dedicated 'socialist'.
So anyways, the next day news broke out about some rioting across the city, though most of it was controlled because West Bengal was under the CPI(M) back then (the Communist Party of India - Marxist). However, my grandmother and a friend of hers, while returning home from work, found that in Dhakuria (southern Calcutta), a mob had stopped a school bus and were intent on burning it down along with its driver and all the kids (schoolgirls from a nearby girls' school), because the driver was a Sikh! Now my grandmother literally jumped onto the bus entrance and started shouting "BURN ME FIRST AND THEN BURN THE KIDS", while her friend rushed to our home back then, and brought my grand uncle, and then he calmly negotiated with the mob leaders and managed to save the bus and the kids, by explaining how the kids had done nothing wrong, and that the bus driver would need to take them home safely, and so on (he had that ability to defuse situations, you can expect that from someone who got a Ph.D under Jan Tinbergen himself). My grandmother later narrated how the driver was shivering in fear when the mob were shouting about burning him, but she managed to hold them long enough for grand uncle to come and defuse the situation. Now she was an old timer member of the CPIM too, you can expect this level of insane heroism from their cadres of back then. I always feel rather proud of how she managed to save those children and the driver all along. However, the sad part would be that most Sikhs would eventually leave Calcutta, due to many reasons like growing urban unemployment and strict price/wage controls under the CPIM government. Still, atleast I can say with some pride that my grandmother helped save a fellow brother in our beloved nation ☺️🇮🇳

Loved ur research and presentation with hardcore facts!! Kudos to u for making it possible!!
Thank you so much for this incredibly detailed video. It took me several days to finally start it because I knew the subject matter would be heavy. But I'm so glad I did. To this day, my mother won't talk about what she witnessed during the insurgency in Punjab. I think you could have briefly mention the role of the rivers and the politics behind the various dams and canals that were built to divert water away from Punjab (which is already dangerously low on groundwater). I also think the role of Punjabi music, especially in the last 10 years, cannot be understated. Artists like Sidhu Moosewala helped connect diaspora Punjabi youth to the real issues back in Punjab, and at least started conversations about mutually shared problems facing the region. Thank you again for this excellent video; hope to see even more interesting topics covered.
This has been the best argument against “gun control” I’ve ever seen. The best part is how the government just suspended their laws when they didn’t want to follow them and told cops to do whatever they wanted. “But why would you ever need firearms??”
I'm from the UK and live near a Gurdwara, and I've always been amazed by the Sikh communities' charity and tolerance in my area. In any crisis, for anyone of any nationality or religion, the Sikhs were there to help. There was this one incident i remember quite vividly.
Covid-19 issues left hundreds of delivery drivers stranded at the ferry crossing, which would take them to France usually, and they were not allowed to leave their lorries. The Sikh community came and provided food free of charge to the drivers and made sure they had essentials.
I think we could all take a leaf out of their teachings.
Every Indian knows if you're ever in trouble, you can always ask a Sikh for help.
Thank you for this! This was yet again such a wonderfully painstakingly detailed documentary. I especially am grateful for this one as a Canadian citizen who knew far too little about the topic! I’ve been interested in the topic since the assassination of Nijjar and the subsequent political fallout but have known very little of the background. Thank you so much for this! I love your work!
I know you have made a short video on the division of Ireland but I would absolutely love to see a similarly detailed video on the history of the troubles there!
I am a British born Sikh jatt now living in Canada. I am amazed how many Sikh youth in Canada blindly support the Khalistan movement while either never having been to India or being born in Canada.
I hope that this documentary, rings home why Khalistan as a movement arose, but why also the Sikhs and Punjabi’s generally living in India are NOT in support of an independent Khalistan state.
They want to be an integral part of India, while at the same time having a degree of autonomy
The ignorant fuelling of Sikh jatts in the west, does not help the cause.
What would help is the push for a diplomatic truth and reconciliation, which pushes for increased powers for Punjab and reignites a wider geographical area identified as Punjab as was allocated in 1947.
Punjab needs the type of investment the modi govt is doing in Kashmir, which has quelled the discontent there. Punjab needs that type of investment to give the youth a better future in India. India is now the 5th largest economy in the world. There will be a time in the next 20-30 years that the Indian diaspora will want a return or the youth of India will no longer look to the west to live and earn. Hopefully Punjab can also have a Bangalore kind of northern hub

thanks for covering this, as an American we don't cover Indian history at all and our knowledge of it is very low. I only learned of Operation Blue Star and of Bendwali(sp) just a couple of years ago. Even scoured YT for more information, and only came across one documentary about Bendwali - in Hindi with no English subtitles, so it was useless for me to learn anything about the backdrop of how it all started.
So thank you Sir! I know much more about this event thanks to you ;-).

Despite all the unfairness, almost all punjabis, including myself, love and prefer to stay in India. But the problem is the moment anyone speaks about injustice in Punjab or against Sikhs, the government’s PR turn it into Khalistani rhetoric inviting bunch of trolls to mock and condemn all sikhs including those who don’t support the movement. This further fuels the khalistani movement. Having heard how my mom dad families lost so many of their cousins to the militancy and police encounters while growing up, sometimes its hard to swallow the pill of injustice. With that said Khalistani movement is only popular in sikhs who immigrated to foreign countries. During my years in canada, i have seen more support for khalistan than i saw in India.

You missed the part of Indian police using “Black Cats” men dressed up as militants who would go commit crimes agains humanity on the civilian population. Read “Sikhs of Punjab” by Joyce Pettigrew

Yup that's a very important part but Hindus will never accept it
Omg yes I heard about this theory as well! No one talks about it
@@empathy.11 yea and it's not just a story to save our reputation but my dad told me people in the village (in 1980s, 90s) and elders would discuss what they do, they would go into people's house and commit crimes, and there was a clear distinction between these government black cats and militants.
@@user-kg7yj Yes and yes my grandparents told me the exact same thing they saw the militancy period, I even read about this in some books covering the 1990s insurgency
As someone who is also currently deep into research on this topic for a video that focuses more on the modern Canadian-Indian conflict and some questions regarding international law, I enjoyed watching your video and I think you did a great job at capturing the complexity of this issue. There are a few things I’d like to note:
24:07 I think it's more accurate to say that Bhindranwale mainstreamed violence rather than introduced it. There have been numerous violent riots/uprisings in the Punjab and beyond in the 1950s and 1960s between Sikhs and Hindus. And there were some small, disorganised groups of militant Sikhs active before - but it was Bhindranwale that popularised this militant approach and laid the foundation of the crisis to come in the 80s.
28:44 I think it's also important to point out that at least officially, the Indian government desperately tried to not portrait this as a conflict between Sikhs and Hindus. This is also a reason for why Operation Blue Star was in part led by (clean-shaven) Sikhs, as you mention. Nonetheless, tensions between Sikhs and Hindus were enormous by that time and you describe the sad results of that in the video.
56:55 I really like the ending of your video. Whether the Khalistan movement will reignite will definitely depend on how the Indian government will choose to react to Sikh demands and economic woes in the present, but also on how it will choose to deal with the past and the incredibly tragic period of the 80s and 90s.
I’m sure your video will attract a lot of angry comments from both sides eventually, but that’s usually the hallmark of a good video in my opinion. Well done!
Brother he said there is no support for Khalistan which is completely untrue, most Punjabis are actually terrified to speak because of police harrassment and arrest, and just choose to ignore and remain silent especially after a aggressive Hindutva government of Modi, if asked most people would definitely support the idea of independent Punjab and that is why the government in no way wants to conduct a peaceful referendum in Punjab or Kashmir because they know it will result in division
Almost 80-90 percent people from rural communities go to Canada for studies and migrants from other parts of India flood and change demographics here 😢😢
Stop justifying the massacre of thousands of innocent Sikh men, women, and children. No wonder Hinduism is often perceived negatively. It deserves it. Instead of persecuting and discriminating against the brave men and women of the Sikh community, who have historically defended Hindus for centuries, you should acknowledge their contributions. Is this how you repay those who have given their lives to protect this country?
Respect should be given to the Sikh people who continue to defend the country from external threats. Without the Sikh community, India will lose a significant layer of its protection. Learn to show respect to the dedicated protectors of our nation.

Awesome vid! From long time Sikh fan. Note: pronunciation of Kaur is more like Kour, similar sound to the Irish name Coor(e)
This is the best video I have seen on sikh issues. Thank you so much for taking the time to make this
Great topic, as always
Thanks!
Asking for a seperate country based on religion is never gonna end well for India. Even in rural areas, people of different faith live amongst each other. Its not as if people from every religion live seperately. It would just create a similar situation like partition in 1947.
Not really, SIkh independence was political, not religious. Many rural Punjabi Hindus saw themselves as basically Sikh, and were with them, as in the farmers protest.
And I say this as someone who doesn't care for Khalistan
@@mk-m6779 I am talking about the viability of the partition. Hindu, Muslim, Sikhs and jains don't live in segregation. Everyone is spread across the country. It would just led to a similar situation in 1947.
@@farukhsheikh5790 Sikhs are largely concentrated in Punjab, and then a few districts alongside.
Regardless, you're missing the point. The asking for a separate country isn't in a vacuum, it is a result of all the things that led up to it, and as said in the video, no one wants to leave.
The best solution, with the diverse cultures, was to have a proper federation with states rights, as proposed in the Anandpur Sahib Resolution, for all states, as is in the USA. But ego and dictatorship took precedence.
@@mk-m6779 You say that you don't care for khalistan, but it seems that you are actively promoting it. Sikhs don't live just in Punjab, I have seen Sikh communities in the remotest town in Bihar near Nepal border, in upper Assam , in Maharashtra and even in arunachal pradesh. Similarly, Even in Punjab there is a large population of Hindus and Muslims.
Seperation would just weaken the whole coalition, and such instances would cause more and more seperatist parties to form, which would just lead to the downfall of the entire country.
@@farukhsheikh5790make india confederation like European union then india will not be weak
Awesome. I wondered when this video was going to be released.
Hope you enjoyed it!
@@CogitoEdu I have added to my Nebula watchlist. Watching it tonight :)
Thanks for reporting. Not just khalistan, nobody can claim indian region but sikhs or punjabi. Because 80 to 90% of people who died for the country at the time of the British or war with pak china were punjabis
running a super massive and super populated & diverse country like india with hundreds of language , religion, traditions etc is ultra difficult task
It however isn't a difficult task to avoid using 1930s Germany tactics to surpress a people, to forcefully deny their cultural existence.
Not if you claim to be the world's largest decomacracy. 😅
@@hi-qj9vzyou don't have to claim it when you actually are. Especially in an area like that. Yes it's not upto the mark when it comes to certain European benchmarks. But between Israel and South Korea, there's only one democracy worth anything in Asia proper. India.
@@ritikshaw5868 india is a decomacracy between 8 pm to 6 am when the night is dark and and you close your eyse..
@@amanpreetkumar9294 maybe according to the British and the Canadian timeline. Come back to India.
I'm not Indian or Sikh, but this was such a painful thing to watch. Everyone deserves to be treated properly. Clearly, the Sikhs were not given the rights and kindness they deserved from the very beginning.
This is extremely well made and well researched. Thank you Cogito.
I am a sikh and there is a fact about the operation blue star that the main media does not discuss, which is that the operation was not an unplanned military action. The military specifically made plans for this attack by recreating the layout of the Golden temple and trained in the mountains so that no one would notice their training. And they attacked several other local gurudwaras in Punjab where there were no reports of any occupancy of weapons. This was purely an attack on the Sikhs and Sant Jarnail Singh was just a way for central government to justify it
Free Khalistan from an Amazigh Muslim. Everyone deserves their freedom.
