Descriptions

Tracing its origin back to 1920, Babbar Khalsa is one of the oldest and most organised Sikh terrorist-secessionist groups. Babbar Khalsa in its present form, however, appears to have been established in 1980.

Australian Sanctions Consolidated List,

Babbar Khalsa International (BKI) is a Sikh terrorist entity that aims to establish a fundamentalist independent Sikh state called Khalistan (Land of the Pure) in what is presently the Indian state of Punjab. BKI activities include armed attacks, assassinations, and bombings. BKI has members outside of India in Pakistan, North America, Europe, and Scandinavia. In recent years, Indian police have arrested associates of BKI, recovering illegal arms and ammunition, and circumventing narco-smugglers seeking to procure weapons for BKI or provide the money to the terrorists and operatives of BKI.
