Brits as always doing the Amrikan poodle work. LTTE, Khalistanis are based out of UK/Canada. NE insurgents out of baptist strongholds in the US. The albinos have not stolen enough land yet.

New Delhi, July 26: <b>The US had an "interest" in Punjab militancy and hatched a "covert action plan" in collusion with Pakistan`s ISI in 1971 </b>to encourage a separatist movement in the border state, says a new book by a former top Indian intelligence officer.
<b>The American "interest" in Punjab militancy lasted for a little more than a decade through the seventies and eighties after the covert plan was initiated by the Richard Nixon administration, </b>says the book by B Raman, who had worked for the Research and Analysis(RAW) Wing. <b>The interest waned after the assassination of the then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi in 1984, </b>according to the book.
The book titled "The Kaoboys of R&AW -- down the memory lane" said "one saw the beginning of a joint covert operation by the US intelligence community and Pakistan`s ISI in 1971 to create difficulties for India in Punjab."
"The(covert) plan envisaged the encouragement of a separatist movement among the Sikhs for an independent state to be called Khalistan," says Raman, who had retired as Additional Secretary in the Cabinet Secretariat.
Elaborating, Raman said <b>Jagjit Singh Chauhan, a Sikh leader from Punjab, went to the UK and took over the leadership of the defunct Sikh home rule movement and renamed it after Khalistan.
</b>
The then Pakistani military ruler Yahya Khan invited Chauhan to Pakistan, "lionised" him as a leader of Sikhs and handed over some Sikh holy relics kept in Pakistan, which he took to the UK to win a following in the Sikh diaspora.
<b>Chauhan also went to New York, met officials of the United Nations and some American journalists and alleged human rights violations of Sikhs in India</b>. <b>"These meetings were discreetly organised by officials of the US national Security Council secretariat then headed by (Henry) Kissinger,"</b> the former R&AW officer says. <!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
