It’s time to talk about Khalistan
Update: 2023-09-22
Description
It’s the elephant in the room for Canadian Sikhs — but now is the time to talk about the Khalistan separatist movement, says Satwinder Bains, an expert on the South Asian diaspora. "Maybe this is the point at which we say, 'The hell with it,' and have these conversations." The diplomatic crisis between Canada and India over the killing of a Khalistan advocate has put the push for a Sikh homeland back in the headlines. Bains thinks it’s time for the community to face the divisive issue, whether they support, oppose or are ambivalent towards Khalistan.
Matt Galloway also speaks with Salimah Shivji, CBC's South Asia correspondent, to share the view from India — where some headlines are calling the Canadian prime minister a "guardian of gangsters."
