The report emphasizes historical grievances and injustices against Sikhs since 1947, the roots of the Khalistan movement, and varying degrees of support for Sikh separatism. It highlights the tactics used by the Indian state to oversimplify Sikh identity, portraying Sikhs as either extensions of Hindus or as terrorists and separatists. It also underscores unaddressed issues of human rights violations, state-led violence, and mass disappearances against Sikhs, particularly during the 1984 “Operation Blue Star” and the Sikh Genocide. It discusses the Khalistan movement's evolution, the involvement of Sikh leaders, and the use of terms like terrorism and extremism in legal contexts.
The policy implications section underscores the importance of the recommendations, urging the world, especially Canada, the US, the UK, Australia, and New Zealand, to take action. These recommendations are also applicable to countries with Sikh populations.
