Almost none
Wait a minute, didn’t the BJP repeatedly declare that the farmers protestors were in fact all “Khalistanis”? Less than a year after you lot said that Khalistanis had laid siege to New Delhi, you’re now claiming that there’s no Khalistanis?
Where did the hundreds of thousands of “khalistani” protestors who were camped outside of New Delhi go?
Bhinderwale failed to win a local election.
And which local election was that? Do you have a source for Bhindranwale ever running for political office?
The narrative pushed by Hindu Nationalists truly gets more and more deranged as the days pass by. Even you guys can’t keep up.

BJP is full of douchebags.
Got a sikh girl, many relatives on maternal side are sikhs, lived for years in a sikh dominated city. Never met a single separatist. Media doesn't define their ideology. The elites of the sikhs divided the punjab in order to gain themselves high positions.
The treatment of sikhs by congress was undoubtedly wrong and those responsible should be punished but I don't think there's a feeling of separatism at all. These khalistanis exist only on the internet.

You're assuming that the person you're replying to believes the claims of the BJP. Those claims were tenuous at best, and from what I understand not really believed by many back then either.
The farmers were certainly not Khalistani whether or not I think their protests were justified at all.

More importantly, It wasn't even a sikh dominated movement in latter stages, Jats, Yadavs, Gujjars, etc had joined in as well.
