The Kurds in Iraq and the Sikhs in Punjab, India, both seek greater autonomy and recognition of their distinct identities within their respective states. The Kurds have faced historical oppression and strive for self-determination, often leading to conflict with the Iraqi government. Similarly, Sikhs have sought to preserve their cultural and religious identity, sometimes clashing with state policies that they perceive as marginalizing their community. Both groups exemplify the challenges faced by ethnic and religious minorities in asserting their rights within larger national frameworks.

Why did the Sikhs want to separate from India?
Generally speaking there is no such idea prevailing in the minds of the Sikh people.Though it goes back to before independence. India as a country has vast population with a multi religious, multi lingual, multi ethnic pluralistic society.During the independence of India there were talks between Hindus, Sikhs and Muslims that after gaining independence they would go their ways. And it did happen for Muslims as Pakistan was formed in the year 1947 and the larger part of India remained with Hindu population with small population for Sikhs. During the partition of India, the state of Punjab was divided into two, western Punjab(55%) which went to Pakistan and eastern Punjab (45%) remained with India. Please note that Punjab is the birthplace of Sikhsm and also the cultural and traditional ideas of Sikhism are rooted in Punjab. Even today the state of Punjab exist on the both side of the border, India and Pakistan. Furthermore, Indai being a multi lingual state, the Indian state of Punjab was further divided into 3 parts, as Haryana, Punjab and Himachal Pradesh in 1966 leaving Punjab with very small portion compared to its original size. During this time also came "The Green Revolution" which acclerated the economic condition of Punjab well above the rest of the Indian states and Punjab is known as the "bread basket of their respective countries" both India and Pakistan. Together with the past unfullfilled promises of Indian Governemnt of giving Sikhs their own state and the development of economic condition not to mention the division of Punjab, led Sikhs to get to a point where things really became desperate, from genuie nationalsim for having their own state to terroist activities. Eventually, it all ended by the early 90's begining in 70's. And now there is no such things in general public mind especially Sikhs who live in India. Though one may find Sikhs who live outside India sometimes talk of it but it has no effect as they are all outside India and few of them actually are ex bad guys residing outside India.
