Why were these two countries not established?
Kurdistan
Kurds are a sizeable minority in Iran,Iraq, Syria and Turkey and have their own language and culture
Post WWII Britain had control of Iraq so there was plenty of time to give them independence before they suffered under Saddam
Khalistan
Before the British there used to be a Sikh Empire in India
Sikhs say Mahatma Gandhi promised them an independent country just like the Muslims were given Pakistan but Nehru backtracked on the agreement
The argument is that Sikhs were a minority in Punjab. But if there were more Muslims than Hindus in Punjab doesn't that mean Hindus were too a minority? The populations would be exchanged whether it be 2 countries or 3 anyway
Khalistan would be landlocked. But Switzerland, Lichtenstein, Rhodesia and Nepal are lanlocked too.
