Is the Khalistan movement reviving?

The Hindu  

After the Punjab police launched a coordinated crackdown against the Dubai-returned radical preacher, Amritpal Singh, and his associates on March 18, there is rising concern about a revival of the Khalistan movement in Punjab. The View from India | Indian diplomacy’s Khalistan problem Manish Tewari: In Punjab, there are no binaries, no black and white, it is 100 shades of grey. Manish Tewari: If you were to rewind to 1947, since the partition of India took place, there has been a latent impulse in Punjab, that while the Hindus got Hindustan and the Muslims got Pakistan, perhaps some people got shortchanged in the process. Shashi Kant: Yes, it was botched-up planning and execution by the Punjab government and the Punjab police.
