Babbar Khalsa International (BKI, Punjabi: ਬੱਬਰ ਖ਼ਾਲਸਾ, [bəbːəɾ xɑlsɑ]), also known as Babbar Khalsa, is an organisation operating primarily in India, UK, Germany, France, USA, Canada and other nations. it is officially banned and designated as an international terrorist organisations by the government of major nations such as USA (since 27 June 2002), Canada, UK, European Union, and India. It gained notoriety for massacring 329 civilians (mostly Canadians) in Air India Flight 182. Despite the massacre of innocent victims, as the case is with most terrorists organisations, its supporters try to incorrectly project it as resistance movement, but it clearly falls in the category of designated terrorist organisation. It also played a prominent role in the Punjab insurgency. BKI was created in 1978, after several radical Sikhs were killed in clashes with the Nirankari sect of Sikhs. It was active throughout the 1980s in the Punjab insurgency but its influence declined in the 1990s after several senior terrorists were killed in encounters with police.
The name Babbar Khalsa is taken from the Babbar Akali Movement of 1920, which agitated against British colonial rule in India. The modern-day Babbar Khalsa was created as a result of the bloody clash on April 13, 1978, between a group of Amritdhari Sikhs of Akhand Kirtani Jatha who went to protest against a gathering of the rival Nirankari sect. The confrontation led to the murder of thirteen demonstrators. When a criminal case was filed against the Nirankari leader, he had his case transferred to neighboring Haryana state, where he was acquitted the following year. This gave rise to new organisational expressions of Sikh aspirations outside the Akali party, and an angry sentiment that if the government and judiciary would not prosecute enemies of Sikhism, taking extrajudical measures could be justified to avenge the death of Sikhs. Among the chief proponents of this attitude was the Babbar Khalsa founded by Talwinder Singh Parmar.
