The movement was launched in the 1970s and gained momentum in the 1980s. The movement was led by Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale, a radical Sikh preacher who was killed in the Indian Army&#8217;s Operation Blue Star in 1984. The Khalistan movement was largely unsuccessful, but it did lead to a period of violence and unrest in Punjab.<\/p>\n<p>The other options are incorrect because:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Option b) is not correct because the Khalistan movement did not demand greater autonomy for Punjab. In fact, the movement demanded independence for Punjab.<\/li>\n<li>Option c) is not correct because the Khalistan movement did not demand recognition of Sikhism as a separate religion. Sikhism is already recognized as a separate religion in India.<\/li>\n<li>Option d) is not correct because the Khalistan movement did not demand economic reforms. The movement was primarily concerned with the creation of an independent Sikh state.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[amp_mcq option1=&#8221;An independent Sikh state&#8221;
