Babbar Khalsa is a among group of Sikh Jathebandis calling for the formation of an independent Sikh state. The envisioned state, called Khalistan by its proponents, would comprise Indian territory in the Punjab, and Punjabi-speaking areas of Haryana, Himachal Pradesh and Rajasthan. Like other organisations, Babbar Khalsa was most active in the late 1970s and 1980s; the end of militancy in 1993 led to a dramatic fall in violence, although infrequent acts of violence are still attributed to it. It was, and continues to be, sponsored largely by expatriate Sikhs, particularly in the United Kingdom and Canada.

  • Babbar Khalsa ist der Name einer der zahlreichen militanten Sikh-Organisationen, die während der 1970er und 1980er Jahre aktiv waren. Sie wurde vor allem durch exilierte sowie indische Sikh-Gruppen unterstützt, die nach einem unabhängigen Sikh-Staat namens Khalistan (Land der Reinen) im indischen Punjab streben. Babbar Khalsa wurde 1978 in Indien durch einen ehemaligen Nachfolger Jarnail Singh Bhindranwales namens Sukhdev Singh Dasuwal gegründet. Die Babbar Khalsa gründeten in zahlreichen Ländern Niederlassungen, vor allem in Kanada und Großbritannien. Bei Aktionen außerhalb Indiens treten sie als Babbar Khalsa International in Erscheinung. Babbar Khalsa in Kanada wurde im Jahr 1981 durch Talwinder Singh Parmar gegründet. Mitglieder der Khalsa beteiligten sich an der gewaltsamen Erstürmung des GoldenenTempels von Amritsar. 1991 spaltete sich die in Kanada unter Talwinder Singh Parmar wirkende Babbar Khalsa vom BKI ab und bildete die Azad Babbar Khalsa (unabhängige Babbar Khalsa). Parmar wurde später während eines Feuergefechtes mit der indischen Polizei an 27. Oktober 2000 getötet. (de)
