Clashes in Melbourne, Australia between Khalistanis and Indians

[SpiritOf1903]

Balooch people also have right to freedom from Pakistan but things don't go the way how others want it though. It's just life, can't help the cards you were dealt with..

India is actively supporting Balochistan renegades and Pakistan foolishly thinks by jeopardizing its own sovereignty, it will destabilize India too.

It's a game of chess this. Create common enemy of Hindus, Pakistani catnip, and create panth for receiving sikh misl

This is some new level of conspiracy theory bro. I don't think Pakistan intelligence has that kind of reach.

"We Will Not Accept": India, Australia Vow Strict Action Against Temple Vandalism
"We will not accept any elements that harm the friendly and warm ties between the India-Australia relationship by their action or thoughts," PM Modi said.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi today held wide-ranging talks with his Australian counterpart Anthony Albanese, aimed at boosting the ties between the two countries in areas of renewable energy, trade and defence. PM Modi said that the two leaders also spoke about the incidents of vandalism of temples in Australia.
"PM Anthony Albanese and I have in the past discussed the issue of attack on temples in Australia and activities of separatist elements. We discussed the matter today also," PM Modi said.

He said that the Australian PM had assured him of strict action against those indulging in such vandalism.

"We will not accept any elements that harm the friendly and warm ties between the India-Australia relationship by their action or thoughts. PM Albanese assured me once again today that he will take strict actions against such elements in the future also," he said.

In March, a prominent Hindu temple in Brisbane, Shree Laxmi Narayan Temple, was attacked by pro-Khalistan supporters. This was the fourth incident of vandalism against Hindu temples in two months in Australia.

On January 16, Shri Shiva Vishnu Temple in Australia's Carrum Downs was vandalised with anti-Hindu graffiti.

On January 12, the BAPS Swaminarayan Mandir in Australia's Mill Park was smeared with anti-India and anti-Hindu graffiti. The temple was vandalised by anti-India elements with anti-India slogans written on the temple's walls, located in the suburb of Mill Park, The Australia Today reported.

Ahead of the talks, PM Modi was accorded a ceremonial guard of honour at the Admiralty House in Sydney.

Over 31,000 Sikhs vote in Sydney Khalistan Referendum
Two weeks before the vote PM Modi met the Australian government authorities and urged them to stop Sikhs from going ahead with voting

Over 31,000 Sikhs voted for Khalistan Referendum in Sydney amid stiff resistance from the Indian government and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s personal campaign to stop Sikhs from holding the third phase of the referendum in Australia. The Sydney phase of the Khalistan Referendum was organised to mark the anniversary of the 1984 Operation Blue Star Amritsar Genocide when Indian authorities killed thousands of Sikhs during a bloodied attack on Sri Harmandir Sahib (Golden Temple). Thousands of Sikh men and women queued outside Shaheed General Shabeg Singh Khalistan Referendum Voting Centre on Sterling Road, Michinbury, from 9 am and cast their votes till 5 pm under the supervision of the independent Punjab Referendum Commission which is overseeing the worldwide referendum voting, commissioned by Pro-Khalistan separatist group, Sikhs for Justice (SFJ).

Two weeks before the Khalistan Referendum voting in Sydney, PM Modi was in Australia where he met the Australian government authorities and urged them to stop Sikhs from going ahead with voting but the Australian government told Modi that the whole of Canberra respected India’s position it was no in position to stop its citizens from expressing their legal and democratic right. Pro-Khalistan Sikhs for Justice (SFJ) had booked Khalistan Referendum voting at four different venues but all venues ended up cancelling it citing security and organisational issues as Hindutva groups, backed by India, raised false alarms of potential violence between Sikh and Hindutva groups.

Large-sized banners and posters hung outside the venue carrying slogans: “Khalistan Referendum Australia, Shimla Capital secession of Punjab from India”; “1984 Sikh Genocide, 100+ Sikhs burnt alive in furnaces by India’s Hindu mobs”; “Khalistan Referendum, the last battle to liberate Punjab”; “Khalistan Referendum – Punjab – Shimla Capital”. The Sikhs for Justice, General Counsel Gurpatwant Singh Pannun said: “Sydney Khalistan Referendum voting is a prodigious journey of Sikh sovereigntists from June 1984 while defending Sri Akal Takht Sahib with ‘bombs-bullets’ to ‘ballot-voting’ in 2023 to liberate Punjab from Indian occupation.” Pannu said the Sydney turnout was a reflection of an extraordinarily growing global support for the liberation of Punjab from Indian occupation. Dr Bakhshish Singh Sandhu, President Council of Khalistan said: “Sikhs in their thousands in Sydney have sent a clear message that they want liberation of Punjab from the Indian occupation, in the same way Hindus got freedom from the British Raj. We are under occupation of India and the only solution is liberation. We will liberate Punjab to save Punjab from India, to preserve our values, religion and culture. Tens of thousands of Sikhs have taken part in the Khalistan Referendum all over the world to express their democratic right in a peaceful manner.”

According to the 2021 census, around 230,000 Sikhs live in Australia but local Sikhs say the real number is close to 300,000. The number of Sikhs in Australia was 130,000 in 2016. According to the census of 2021, the number of Hindus in Australia stood at around 700,000. The highest number of Sikhs live in Melbourne, followed by Sydney and Brisbane.

Which part of Australia will be Khalistan?

 

[Major]

Change.org once over 100k sign is then debated in parliament. This is not something India would understand.

As or the Sikhs, totally support them. Hindutva extremists even try to intimidate Muslims in the UK Of course they ran.

Sikhs are too strong for Hindutva idiots anywhere in the world.

India's punjab region should be given to Sikhs as their homeland. Pakistani pujbab cant be given as its not part of India and only a few thousand Sikhs live there.

They have broken up the Punjab province and created Haryan and different provinces from it, its not the same anymore.

If Khalistan gets established, they will than offcourse go for Pakistans Punjab and that would be dangerous. Khalistan will be a problem for Pakistan in the longer run. Nankana Sahib and Kirtarpur are located on the Pakistani side. Even if we give Kirtarpur to them, Nanakana Sahib is located where there is the best farming land of the country and plus it goes through sehikhapura and lahore.

I would love to see India get destroyed and lose territory etc, but Khalistan would be a problem for us later on if it gets established

What's drawing so many Indians to Australia?

Rohit Singh speaks in an accent that's markedly different from his mother's.

He's a second-generation Indian immigrant living in Mornington Peninsula, a beachy cape that's about an hour's drive from Melbourne.

Over the past two years, he has been helping his parents run Avani, a boutique winery they founded after migrating to Australia in the 1990s.

Mr Singh says that in the past decade, the South Asian community in Melbourne has burgeoned, so Avani has started hosting wine pairing events that spotlight Indian dishes - meen pollichathu (a baked fish recipe from southern India) is served with Pinot Gris; dal makhani (a slow-cooked, creamy black lentil dish) is paired with a Pinot Noir.

The chefs and restaurateurs behind these experiments are among more than 710,000 Indians who live in Australia, one of the world's biggest "immigrant nations". Their numbers have been increasing rapidly over the past few years - according to the country's last census, Indians are now the second-largest migrant group in Australia, having overtaken the Chinese and second only to the English. The new wave of Indian immigrants has largely been driven by the tech sector, as the country has a high demand for skilled workers.

Aarti Betigeri, a journalist who is currently editing an anthology on the experiences of Indians growing up in Australia, says that when her parents moved there in the 1960s, Indians were hardly a part of public life. "It was rare to find another Indian on the street," she says.

Today, things are different. "They're in jobs across sectors, run their own businesses and are even entering politics," she says.

The recently-elected New South Wales government has four Indian-origin politicians, including Daniel Mookhey, who in March became the first politician of Indian origin to become the treasurer of an Australian state. There is still a long way to go, though - Indian-Australians, along with others with a non-European lineage, are still underrepresented in politics, especially at the federal level.
