Michael Rubin has described the concept of Khalistan as artificial as Pakistan was in its infancy and cautioned the USA establishment against entertaining any Khalistani figures. In an article titled ‘Khalistani Extremism: A Growing Threat In The U.S. And Canada’ in the National Security Journal, Rubin explained, “Khalistan today is as artificial as Pakistan was in its infancy. Sir Muhammad Iqbal, Choudhry Rahmat Ali and Muhammad Ali Jinnah created the concept of Pakistan to be a separate state for Muslims upon India’s independence. The name Pakistan, coined by Rahmat Ali, was completely artificial: It was both an anagram, taking the P from Punjab, A from Afghan, K from Kashmir, S from Sindh, I from the Indus River Valley, and the last four letters from Baluchistan, and a pun: Pakistan is both a Persian and Urdu word meaning “land of the pure.”” “Khalistan, likewise, has no historical basis. As with Pakistan, Khalistan literally means “land of the pure,” although it substitutes the Persian/Urdu “Pak” for the Punjabi/Arabic “Khalis.” Khalistani separatists use the term to frame their demand for an independent Sikh state in Punjab. Sikhs comprise slightly over half the population of Indian Punjab; their population is now near zero in Pakistani Punjab due to decades of Pakistani sectarian cleansing,” he alleged.

Department of Telecommunications (DoT) has prepared a draft cabinet note seeking to waive the requirement of providing bank guarantees (BGs) for securitisation of deferred spectrum instalments, subject to some conditions, officials said. The move follows a request by Vodafone Idea (Vi) for such a waiver, they said. “The BG waiver for next instalment, however, can only be considered if the telco agrees to pay an additional three months’ amount along with the annual payment,” said one of the officials, who did not wish to be identified. If the draft gets cabinet nod, there won’t be any requirement for BGs. But the telcos will have to pay instalments for 15 months annually, with instalments for three more months acting as a security for next year’s payments. Therefore, while Vi has been calling for waiver of the BG requirement, the DoT proposal, if cleared by the cabinet, may see a higher annual outgo for the telco, which has been desperately trying to emerge from a cash crisis, said experts.
