Khalistan - Simple English Wikipedia

# Khalistan

### From Wikipedia, a free encyclopedia written in simple English for easy reading.

Khalistan is a region in the Indian territory of Punjab. It was proposed to create an independent state, with this territory, and a few neighbouring ones. In a meeting of Sikh leaders in 1986, it was decided that an independent state should be created. This idea has been met with opposition, leading to violence. Indira Gandhi was killed because of this.

The capital city of the self-proclaimed state seems to be Chandigarh.
