Sikh Nationalism is a political and cultural movement that seeks to promote the identity, rights, and interests of the Sikh community. It emerged in response to historical injustices and aims to establish a distinct national identity for Sikhs, particularly in the context of India and the Punjab region. The movement often emphasizes the importance of Sikh values, history, and religious practices, advocating for greater autonomy and recognition within the broader national framework. Key events, such as the 1984 anti-Sikh riots and the Sikh independence movement, have significantly shaped its development and the community's quest for self-determination.
