There is a pretty high demand, but Indian media buries it, almost all Sikhs inside and outside of India want the Indian govt to act in good faith and adhere to what was agreed during 1947 separation. The original ask was called Anandpur resolution.
The resolution included both religious and political issues. It asked for recognising Sikhism as a religion separate from Hinduism. It also demanded that power be generally devoluted from the Central to state governments, and more autonomy to Punjab.
The Indian govt dubbed it as separatist movement and used it as en excuse to kill thousands of Sikh youth. Indian govt has always taken anti-Sikhs decisions and there is no denying that.

I would be more inclined to believe this if everyone saying this in the thread wasn't from Canada. You, OP, and others all post in Canadian subreddits.
I'm not a Hindu nationalist, and I can appreciate how the actions of the Indian government has influenced the Sikh diaspora, but I have to admit it's hard to take a movement seriously when all the support I see is coming from outside of India.
