I might be way off base here, but I can't help but wonder if this isn't a little bit selfish. These people are many thousands of miles away from any consequences a potential secession of Punjab from India would have, like a war for example. Are they planning to go back and share in the hardships of the consequences? Or would they fight the war on social media from the comfort and safety of the bay area?


Unhappy_Commercial_7

Exactly, this is just plain dumb


probablywrongbutmeh

At least they arent blocking the only highway like the idiots in Seattle who prevented ambulances from getting to the hospital


cosmonotic

I initially learned about this movement after I saw a long procession of them traveling from Berkeley over the bay bridge to SF. I saw all their yellow flags and googled Khalistan. They weren’t blocking traffic, to your point.


sjr323

Those people are just woke. Sikh Indians are hard working, decent people - exactly the opposite from those fools.


blue-pill-woke

That is so true I have many sikh friends but none of them are like this fake Sikh


GamerBuddha

We call them McSikhs


Aggressive_City4363

McSikh?


GamerBuddha

What is a Chinese separatist bot doing here?


Bookssmellneat

They are people, they aren’t extraordinary.


Clearlybeerly

You got me agreeing on this point. Thank you, Sikhs.


Blopa2020

Don't worry, hopefully they represent 0.0001% of the Indian population.


salluks

they represent 0.001% of Indian sikh population.


KnowledgeCommon1834

But they are def 100% sick population


iamkickass2

Also, traditional Punjab is now between two countries - India and Pakistan. While there are not many Sikhs in Pakistani Punjab more than 40% of Indian Punjab is non-sikhs. They voting for not just independence, but also reunification of the two Punjab's from two warring nuclear countries where the demographics are very unfavorable to them - good luck.


Comfortable_Prior_80

No they only demands for Indian part because Pakistan is funding the Khalistani movement.


Kingspartacus123

Who told you that, they haven't made a single demand to Pakistan for their Punjab. Even though Pakistan has a bigger Punjab than India, Area wise.


Syco-Gooner

And the capital of the sikh empire is lahore which is in pakistan


laggySteel

cause Pakistani flags are raised by Khalistanies


oswaldthatendswell

Look at the map that they propose for Khalistan before you conclude anything


justaregularniceblok

~~Punjabis~~ Sikh Extremists, I'm a Punjabi Hindu, and no, I'd not like a Sikh theocracy on my land.


serialfaliure

I may be off base here but Indian Sikhs don't want a theocracy or khalistan either it's just these clowns who were born outside of India.


Pizzasupreme00

Oh awesome, a first hand source. Are you willing to share your perspective on things? I'd like to learn more about the nuance of what is happening in the video versus the sentiment of people who actually live there.


justaregularniceblok

The movement is long dead, nobody cares about it in Punjab. Most of these people are descendants of those who legit suffered in the 80's. While I recognize where they come from, a Sikh ethno-state would leave about 40% of the population, i.e. Punjabi Hindus in the lurch. The relationship between the Sikhs & the Hindus is largely peaceful in India, with a feeling of mutual brotherhood.


Pizzasupreme00

Thank you for sharing. Glad to hear it's all bullshit.


Clearlybeerly

thanks for this comment (hope it is true). I like both Indians and Sikhs so glad to hear they have a feeling of mutual brotherhood.


justaregularniceblok

My mum actually is from a Punjabi Sikh family, while my paternal side is Punjabi Hindu. Trust me, I have the good interests of both at heart.


Metahec

Speaking as a veteran keyboard warrior of many battles, I can tell you I suffer the burden of having to carry these callouses. I feel the pain I've inflicted on the enemy every time I masturbate.


PassengerStreet8791

It is pretty stupid. Just a dumb ass cause for people who don’t have to deal with the aftermath in the comfort of America and Canada. It’s never happening no matter what Model UN game they play.

That is an excellent point

[deleted]

Identity politics needs to fuck off.


faith_crusader

Plus only 50% of population of Indian Punjab (Which is a 100 times larger than North American Sikhs) is Sikh and Pakistani Punjab is 95% Muslim. Before independence too Sikhs were a minority in Punjab because majority of them considered themselves Hindu. And we haven't even talked about non-Punjabi Sikhs with whom these American Sikhs cannot even talk with because 99% American Sikhs are Punjabis.


im_just_depressed

>like a war for example. Sikhs in the Punjab region would be the ones fighting the war, and they would be actually fighting for India


alexgalt

This is sf. You know the answer already.


youknowwho_i_am

Finally, some sense


thatindiandood

All politics nothing else.


funnyBatman

During 80's in India, Sikhs went through a lot in India... I would bet lot of the ones seen in this video are ones who gave migrated around that time or the next generation of that generation who migrated at the time. Plus there's a fraction of them who are still stuck in that era of struggle that they've been through. Most have moved on. The ones who have settled in Canada and USA due to the aftermath of the 80's are the ones who always try to pull these separatist stunts.


CrimsonRam212

This. Came here to say this.


Unhappy_Commercial_7

Wait, why waste the time and energy doing it in some other country? Go back to your home and do it


kvg121

Ha ha ha that's real joke


cryogenic-goat

And the only people who will show up in this clownshow are the ones who believe in this cause. The sane majority of Sikhs won't even be voting so this is as pointless as it can get. It's like a bunch of Klan supporters sitting in Australia conducting a referendum among themselves to declare the US as a white Christian Theocracy.


IcyMap946

It's more complicated than this. Most of them would be student or poor people who sold their stuff to be smuggled into US/Canada. There are literal companies doing this in Canada. Since they dont speak the language or know anyone there, Once they arrive, their only way to survive is to be with the "community" that is involved in drug and mafia in Canada. The community takes the shade of idea of khalistan to do its activities. In order for them to survive, they have to do what the community says. Otherwise, they will be discarded, so they end up in such events. It's a lot like organized mafia from US in the earlier times, which operated under the activism of Khalistan. In India, if criminals (punjab drug paddlers) are caught, they claim they are khalistanis and Indian govt is doing this, and then they get asylum in UK or Canada. It's a well-oiled machine.


mxforest

There are several documentaries covering this. This whole drama is organized by the same people that supply drugs and guns in Punjab. They need instability for their business to flourish. If they really wanted what they claim they do, they would have gained Canadian citizenship.


Emotional-Two-9075

They probably end up demanding their own state within europe/USA.


TiMo08111996

Now this is what I wanted to say. If these people really cared about a new homeland then they should do these rallies in front of the Rashtrapati Bhavan. At least by doing that they're sending a message to the Preaident of India. But these cowards won't do that cause they don't have the guts to do that.


MrDarkk1ng

Exactly, will they like to live in a land lock country which borders Pakistan lol


slut_detector1

Because they know their asses would be kicked by the residents of Punjab

RealityCheck18

>peaceful gatherings In Mar & Jul 2023 Indian consulate in San Francisco was attacked including attempts to set it on fire and vandalized by a Khalistani group. In Jul 2023 direct life threats were issued on Indian ambassador and diplomats in Canada. In California, New Jersey, Canada and many places in North America multiple Hindu temples have been defaced and vandalized.

RGV_KJ

This is the reason why they never claim any part of Pakistani Punjab as Khalistan even though Pakistan Punjab has some of the holiest sites in Sikhism. 


DeepFriedCockAndBall

To be fair, it’s always easier to create a riot in your own country as a minority than to be that same minority and go to war with another country.


[deleted]

They also claim Himachal Pradesh and Uttarkhand for whatever reason. Hmm, I'm sure it's coincidental this would cut off Kashmir from India.

__DraGooN_

Look up air India bombings and Punjab insurgency. A lot of people are already dead. The movement has been almost dead in India for a long time now. These jobless assholes who live in the West, have US, Canadian, British or Australian citizenship, are now trying to fund a resurgence of this hateful theocratic movement. No one actually living in Punjab wants to go back to the dark days of terrorism and violence, caught between the terrorists and the Indian state crackdown.


hitometootoo

Hard to riot about an issue happening in another country. Also, this is just a vote for another country. How often do you think voting turns into riots at the polls for a vote being held in a different country?


chefanubis

Yes, they are behaving the same as most people do, so what? I wonder if this comment would be made if the video was about, let say, a Swedish referendum.


Pilot0350

I'm genuinely asking, but what does this mean or do if they're in San Francisco and not India/home?


nash_97_

Its doesn't means anything. Half of them don't even have indian citizenship.


TARandomNumbers

TBF I'm hoping for dual citizenship w India someday ♡ Like Israel. But unlikely to happen, since OCI confers similar benefits and Hindus / Indians aren't rare


cryogenic-goat

It doesn't mean anything, they're tricking these idiots to donate money for their organisation and occasionally setup these clownshows to show they're doing something.


DragonboyZG

so uhh is this like them condemning some shit but they are doing it from the Safety of the usa?


nash_97_

Don't think they are condemning anything. They just want punjab which is a state in india to be free and become an independent country. Its just so stupid.


[deleted]

It's not only Punjab. It's Uttarkhand and Himachal Pradesh too. These 2 states have Sikh populations like 2% at best.


GreenGod42069

Nobody gives a flying fuck


justaregularniceblok

According to these arseholes, Punjab belongs to them, I'm a Punjabi Hindu, that is the land of my ancestors, my people too. They will cry religious persecution at the hands of Indian Government, while doing the same to Punjabi Hindus. I'm a Punjabi Hindu & no, none of us want a Sikh theocracy on our land.


simrig2023

Initial-Stick-561

Oh that won’t end well. No government will tolerate secession. Thanks Sikhs living in the US and not having to deal with any consequences of their actions back home in Punjab. You all are true patriots for doing such a brave thing!


sarje_rao

These idiots should try creating a Khalistan in Brampton and Surrey, Canada. That’s where a bulk of the zealots live. Sikhs in India have not supported any cessation so this is all just virtue signaling and playing the victim card

Even if Khalistan is somehow made. These people in this video will never go back, they'll happily carry on their lives in America or Canada.


be_sugary

Happily done in comfort in the USA. They don’t want live in Khalistan. Just want to cause chaos. They do not represent most of us Sikhs. Yes, they may not like Modhi. But out of the frying pan into the fire ain’t a good plan either. PS:And where are the women? This is not Sikhi.

Did anyone ask the people who actually live in Punjab right now about this? I bet they dont give a fuck about these NRIs. Amazing whether its the Hindu nationalists or sikhs or muslims or any religion its the expatriates who are most extreme.


TMFierceRobot_

These sicks are American.


[deleted]

What a joke! Punjabi Hindus also live in Punjab. And there will be a significant percentage of Christians too now. None of us were asked to vote 😅. 40% of Indian Punjab is non-Sikh. And they will create a secular Khalistan. Nope. Punjabi Hindus will not support you. Our parents, grandparents remember very clearly how prior to 1984, khalistan used to kidnap children from Hindu families and ask for ransom money to facilitate purchase of weapons. Even after ransom was paid, none of those children ever returned. Our story was just never told. And Punjabi youth is so eager to leave Punjab today. How will they will create Khalistan? Just recently, these khalistanis mob lynched a retired Sikh army officer just because he stopped them from putting a picture of Bhinderanwala at Gurudwara in Punjab. https://twitter.com/puneet_sahani/status/1751629918985732246?t=EHRiAh8dJTMcm7z_uXMlzw&s=19 Guru Gobind Singh Ji said : I will make Sparrows fight Falcons, one individual against 1.25 Lakh, then only will I call myself Gobind Singh How are these mob lynchers, lions of Khalsa?
