History edit
On 6 July 1987, 38 Hindus were killed by a pro-Khalistan Sikh militant organization, the Khalistan Commando Force, when a bus was going from Chandigarh to Rishikesh, in order to drive out the million Hindus living in the state of Punjab and forced the Sikhs living outside of the Punjab state to move in to enable the Sikh separatists to claim the Punjab state as a sovereign country of Khalistan.[4][5]
