 Punjab, are Sikhs Muslims

Sikhs are not Muslims. Sikhism is a distinct religion from Islam, with its own unique scripture, guidelines, principles, initiation ceremony, and appearance 1. Sikhs are followers of Sikhism, which originated in the Punjab region of India around the 15th century 2. They are neither Hindus nor Muslims 345. Sikhs and Muslims have different beliefs, practices, and places of worship 14. Sikhs believe in Ik Onkar, one creator who is present in all of creation. They refer to God as Waheguru. For Sikhs, God is a formless, genderless force that is “known by grace through the true guru” 1.

It’s important to note that Sikhs have been victims of hate crimes and domestic terrorism targeting Muslims due to confusion based on appearance and attire 1. Sikhs wear a peaked head turban called a dastar, which can resemble turbans worn by some Muslim elders or Afghani Muslims. However, it is essential to respect and understand the differences between these two religions.

searching for: Punjabi independence movement

Yes, there is a movement called the Punjabi Suba movement1. It was a long-drawn political agitation launched by Punjabi-speaking people, mostly Sikhs, demanding the creation of an autonomous Punjabi Suba or Punjabi-speaking state in the post-independence Indian state of East Punjab1. The movement is considered the forerunner of the Khalistan movement, which is a separatist movement seeking to create a homeland for Sikhs by establishing an ethno-religious sovereign state called Khalistan in the Punjab region2.

Recently, there have been discussions and concerns about the Punjabi independence movement among the overseas diaspora, particularly in Canada. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has expressed strong concerns over Canada’s handling of this issue345. However, it’s important to note that these discussions and concerns are related to the overseas Sikh community and not directly linked to Punjab as a region within India.

Searching for: Murder of a Sikh citizen Vancouver june 18 2023

I’m sorry to hear about the incident you mentioned. In June 2023, Hardeep Singh Nijjar, a prominent Canadian Sikh leader, was shot and killed in front of the Guru Nanak Sikh Gurdwara in Surrey, British Columbia12. He was a strong advocate of the Khalistan movement, which seeks an independent homeland for Sikhs in India’s Punjab region1. The investigation into his murder is ongoing, and there have been allegations of foreign interference in this case3.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has stated that there is “credible evidence” suggesting India’s involvement in the assassination of Hardeep Singh Nijjar1. He has raised this issue with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi during their meeting at the G20 summit1. The allegations, if true, would be considered an unacceptable violation of Canada’s sovereignty1
