I support freedom fighters anywhere. If Khalistan wants to be independent and Kashmir wants to be independent, then they should have the right to do so. India is a strange union of states with different ethnicities and religious practices. Even each state has a different language. Kind of like Yugoslavia, except the differences are more pronounced. If Punjab thinks it has nothing in common with India and is tired of supporting the rest of the Indian states with its agriculture output, then it should have the right to choose its own destiny. Same for Kashmir, which should not have been part of India in the first place. Keep ad hominems at a minimum, please.

Punjab is not just Sikhs only.

You seem to think that a significant portion of Sikhs seek Khalistan. They don't. The idea's dead. Even the Pakistanis don't care.

The current governor is a Sikh himself.

The issue of Khalistan is dead.

Kashmir? Well, It's been thrashed about often, but "shoulds" are pretty irrelevant in history.

Ditto for the Paelestinian "freedom fighters" or the alQ "freedom fighters" on 911??? Sheesh, real freedom fighters don't target womena nd children, drop bombs at Govt forces etc. See the East Timorese struggle -- those are freedom fighters, ditto the Tibetans.

An India split into a myriad of independent countries -- close to 300 it'd be, would be like GErmany after the treaty of Wesphalia -- no coherence, open to extremism. What would happen would be that these countries would be swallowed up by slamies and the Chinese and soon you'd have a Chicom-Slamie super state stretching from Morocco to the South China sea.
